"The Nooner"
A young Minnesota farm couple, Ole and Lena, got married and
just couldn't seem to get enough lovin'. In the morning, before Ole left
the house for the fields, they made love. When Ole came back from the
fields, they made love. And again at bedtime, they made love.
The problem was their "nooner"; it took Ole a half hour to travel home
and another half hour to return to the fields and he just wasn't getting
enough work done. Finally Ole asked the town doctor what to do.
"Ole," said the doctor, "just take your rifle out to the field with you
and when you're in the mood, fire off a shot into the air. That will be
Lena's signal to come out to you. Then you won't lose any field time."
They tried Doc's advice and it worked well for a while. Ole came back to
the doctor's office.
"What's wrong?" asked the Doc. "Didn't my idea work?"
"Oh, it worked real good," said Ole. "Whenever I was in the mood, I
fired off a shot like you said and Lena'd come runnin'. We'd find a
secluded place, make love, and then she'd go back home again."
"Good, Ole. So what's the problem?" asked the Doc.
"I ain't seen her since huntin' season started."
