Ole & Sven are on vacation in Texas and walk by a store window
with the sign, 'Suits $5.00 each, Shirts $2.00 each, Trousers $2.50
a pair.'
Ole says to his pal, 'Sven, look at dat! Ve could buy a whole
bunch of dese clothes, take 'em back to Iowa , sell 'em to all da
dumbYermans up dere, and make a fortune!'
Ole continues, 'Now ven ve go in dere, don't you say a vurd,

Ole and Sven go in and Ole says with his best fake Texas
accent, 'Howdy, y'all. Ah'll take 50 of them there suits at five
dollahs each, 100 of them there shirts at two dollahs each, and 50
