Ole and Lena
Lena cannot stand the thought of getting old. In fact, the best ten years of her life were the ten between twenty-nine and thirty. Ya. Lena has been pressing so long. It’s peated.
Ole told Sven he beats Lena up every morning. Sven thought that was terrible that he could not believe he beat Lena up every day. Well Ole said, that was the truth, I get up at six and she gets up at seven.
