Nine Months Later...
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 a 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, 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 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!
