One Cold Night
Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob.
They loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north. After driving
for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. They
pulled into a nearby farm house 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, "and I'm afraid the neighbors will talk
if I let you stay in my house."
"Not to 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 and enjoyed a great weekend
of skiing.
About nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from
an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but
he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that
attractive widow he 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?"
"Yes, I do."
"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night,
go up to the house and fool around with her?"
"Yes," he 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 red and he said, "Yeah, sorry buddy,
I'm afraid I did. Why do you ask?"
"No need to apologize, Bob. She just died and left me
everything!"
