How yodeling Began......

Many years ago a man was traveling through the mountains of Switzerland.

Nightfall was rapidly approaching and he had nowhere to sleep. He went
up to a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could spend the night.

The farmer told him that he could sleep in the barn.


As the story goes, the farmer's daughter came down from upstairs and
asked her father, "Who was that man going into the barn?" "That's some
fellow traveling through," said the farmer. "He needed place to stay
for the night, so I said that he could sleep in the barn."


The daughter said, "Perhaps he is hungry."

So, she prepared him a plate of food and took it out to the barn.
About an hour later, the daughter returned, her clothing disheveled
and straw in her hair.

Straight up to bed she went.

The farmer's wife was very observant. She then suggested that perhaps
the man was thirsty.

So, she fetched a bottle of wine, took it out to the barn, and she too
did not return for an hour. Her clothing was askew, her blouse
buttoned incorrectly and her hair all messed up.

She also headed straight to bed.

The next morning at sunrise, the man in the barn got up and continued
on his journey, waving to the farmer as he left.
When the daughter awoke and learned that the visitor was gone,
She broke into tears.
"How could he leave without even saying goodbye,after we made such
passionate love last night?"

"What?" shouted the father, and angrily ran out of the house looking
for the man, who by now was halfway up the mountain.

The farmer screamed up at him, "I'm gonna get you! You had sex with my
daughter!"

The man looked back down from the mountainside, cupped his hand next
to his mouth, and yelled out:

"LAIDTHEOLADEETOO!"
