Ole Olson is on his deathbed, knows the end is near, and is with his nurse, his wife, his daughter and his two sons.
"So", he says to them, "My oldest son Swen, I want you to take the Minnetonka houses; daughter Lena, take the apartments over in Edina ; son Rasmus, I want you to take the offices over on Hennepin; and Gunhild, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings downtown."
The nurse is just blown away by all this, and as Ole slips away, she says, "Mrs. Olson, your husband must have been such a hardworking man to have accumulated all this property.
Gunhild replies, "Property?...The idiot had a paper route!"

Funny! I made enough money from my paper route in Beverly Hills, California when in my early teens that I could buy my first car when I was 15!
