Ole, while not a brilliant man, was a gifted portrait artist. His fame grew and soon people from all over Minnesota were coming to him for paintings.
One day, a beautiful young woman pulled up to his house in a stretch limo. She asked Ole if he would paint her in the nude.
This was the first time anyone had made this request.
The beautiful lady said money was no object; she was willing to pay $5,000.
Not wanting to get into trouble with his wife, Ole asked the lady to wait while he went in the house and conferred with Lena, his wife.
In a few minutes he returned and said to the lady,"Ya shure, yoo betcha. I'll paint ya in da nude, but I'll hev ta leave on my socks so I'll hev a place to vipe my brush."
