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 an attorney. It took him
few minutes to figure it out, but he finally
determined that it was from the attorney 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, ever, 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 give her 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?... you know you smiled...now
keep that smile for the rest of the day!
