The Joke |

The Bridge. Ole lived across the river from Clarence, who he didn't like at all. All the time they were yelling across the river at each other. Ole would yell to Clarence, "If I yust had a vay to cross dis river, I'd come over der an beat you up good, yah sure, ya betcha by golly!" This went on for years. Finally the state built a bridge across the river right there by their houses. Ole's wife Lena says, "Now is your chance, Ole; vhy don't you go over der and beat up dat Clarence like you said you vould." Ole says, "Okay, by yimmy I tink I vill yust do dat!" Ole starts for the bridge, but he sees a sign on the bridge and he stops to read it, then he turns around and comes back home. Lena asked, "Vhy did you come back?" Ole said, "I tink I shanged my mind 'bout beatin' up dat Clarence. You know, dey put a sign on da bridge dat says 'Clarence is 13 ft. 6 in.' He don't look near dat big vhen I yell at him from across da river!" |
