You Don't Have To

[marval]

Ole and Lena went to the same Lutheran Church. Lena went every Sunday and taught Sunday School. Ole went on Christmas and Easter and once in awhile he went on one of the other Sundays.

On one of those Sundays, he was in the pew right behind Lena and he noticed vhat a fine looking woman she was. while they were taking up the collection, Ole leaned forward and said, "Hey, Lena, how about you and me go to dinner next Friday?"

"Yes, Ole, that would be nice," said Lena.

Well, Ole couldn't believe his luck. All week long he polished up his old Ford, and on Friday he picked Lena up and took her to the finest restaurant in town.

When they sat down, Ole looked over at Lena and said, "Hey, Lena, would you like a cocktail before dinner?"

"Oh, no, Ole," said Lena. "What would I tell my Sunday School class?"

Ole was set back a bit, so he didn't say much until after dinner.

Then he reached in his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

"Hey, Lena," said Ole, "would you like a smoke?"

"Oh, no, Ole," said Lena. "What would I tell my Sunday School class?"

Ole vas feeling pretty low after that, so he just got in his Ford and was driving Lena home when they passed the Hot Springs Motel.

He'd struck out twice already, so he figured he had nothing to lose. "Hey, Lena," said Ole, "how would you like to stop at that motel with me?"

"Yes, Ole, that vould be nice," said Lena.

Ole couldn't believe his luck. He did a U-turn right then and there across the road, and drove back to the motel and checked in with Lena.

The next morning Ole got up first. He looked at Lena lying there in the bed, her blond curls on the pillow.

"What have I done? What have I done?" thought Ole. He shook Lena and she woke up. "Lena, I've got to ask you something," said Ole. "What are you going to tell your Sunday School class?"

"Lena said, "The same thing I alvays tell them. You don't have to smoke or drink to have a good time!"
