Ole Sven Larson, one of Lindstrom's most famous batchelor farmers, was getting pretty old, and he fell off his roof while trying to get that darned snow off of it. He wound up in the hospital, with serious injuries.
He was pretty sure he was going to die, so he told the doctor that he wanted to be buried in his boat.
The doc asked him why he wanted to be buried in his boat, and not a normal casket.
"Well, doc, you know I like to fish, and I'm sure they've got some pretty good boats up there on those Heavenly lakes, but I don't know if they're Lunds, and I wouldn't want to use any other brand. Besides, I need my outboard. It was signed by Ole Evinrude himself."
