Ole & Lena Jokes have been around, especially in the Midwest, for decades -- just like Ole & Lena. It is a collection of jokes about those mighty fine Scandinavians Ole & Lena along with some of their friends like Sven, Lars, and more. These jokes are a tradition passed on from generation to generation over many years. You hear them at the kitchen table, at a pot luck in the church basement, in the fishing boat, and over a beer at the local bar. This is a collection of some of the jokes that have been passed around and some new ones that the author, Mary Hirsch (herself a stoic Norwegian), has written.

The Sixth Edition of the perennially popular Pretty Good Joke Book is everything the first five were and more. More puns, one-liners, light bulb jokes, knock-knock jokes, and third-grader jokes (have you heard the one about Elvis Parsley?). More religion jokes, political jokes, lawyer jokes, blonde jokes, and jokes in questionable taste (Why did the urologist lose his license? He got in trouble with his peers). More jokes about chickens, relationships, and senior moments (the nice thing about Alzheimer’s is you can enjoy the same jokes again and again). It all started back in 1996, when A Prairie Home Companion fans laughed themselves silly during the first Joke Show. The broadcast was such a hit that it became an almost-annual gagfest. Then fans wanted to read the jokes, share them, and pass them around, and the first Pretty Good Joke Book was born. With over 200 new and updated jokes, the latest edition promises countless giggles, chortles, and guffaws anyone—fans of the radio show or not—will enjoy.
