Ole and Lena were Finnish farmers who, unlike other Finns who farmed in northern Minnesota, farmed in the southern part of Minnesota, adjacent to the Iowa border.
One day a surveyor came to Ole and Lena's farm to survey their property. After he finished, the surveyor met with Ole and Lena and said, "I surveyed your property, but I found a problem. All these years you thought your farm was in Minnesota, but my results show your farm is in Iowa."
The surveyor looked at Ole and Lena for a response, but instead of them being upset, they looked pleased.
"I thought you would be upset," said the surveyor. "Why do you both look so happy?"
"Well," said Ole, "I'm so glad now. I didn't think we could stand another of those terrible Minnesota winters!"
