Ole was never much of a scholar, but he sure could paint, especially portraits. As his fame grew, people came from all over to have him paint their formal portrait. One day, a beautiful young woman arrived at his studio and asked Ole if he would paint her in the nude. "Money is no object. Would a half million dollars be enough?" Since no one had ever made such a request before, Ole figured he'd better get permission from his wife. "Can ya wait here fer a minute whilst I asks Lena?" In a few minutes he returned. "Ya, shoor, you betcha, I can paint ya in da nude, but I'll haff ta leave my socks on so's I have a place to wipe my brushes!"
