Another Norwegian Joke for you to enjoy featuring our friend Ole.  

Ole was hired to paint the yellow stripe down the highway. 

His first day he painted ten miles. 

The second day he only painted five miles.

His boss, thinking that he was getting slower because he had started off too hard on the first day, decided to give him a day off to rest. 

But when Ole came back to work the next day, 

he only painted half a mile.

So his boss asked, "Excuse me, but why have you been painting less and less each day, even after I gave you a day off?"

"Simple, " Ole answered. 

"I've been getting furder avay from da paint can!"
