Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob.
So they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north. After
driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible
blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the
attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend
the night.
"I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this
huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she
explained. "I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let
you stay in my house"
"Don't worry," Jack said. "We'll be happy to sleep in the
barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first
light."
The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the
barn and settled in for the night.
Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on
their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.
But about nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter
from a lawyer. It took him a few minutes to figure it
out, but he finally determined that it was from the lawyer
of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.
He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, "Bob, do you
remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed
at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?"
"Yes, I do." said Bob
"Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night,
go up to the house and pay her a visit?"
"Well, um, yes, "Bob said, a little embarrassed about
being found out, "I have to admit that I did."
"And did you happen to use my name instead of telling her
your name?"
Bob's face turned beet red and he said, "Yeah, look, I'm
sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did." Why do you ask?"
"She just died and left me everything."
(And you thought the ending would be different, didn't
you?... now keep that smile for the rest of the day.)
