John decided to go
skiing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded up John's mini van and headed
north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible
blizzard. 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 neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house."
"Don't worry," John said. "Well 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.
About nine months later, John 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?"
"Yes, I do", replied Bob. "Did you happen to get up in the
middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"
"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?" John asked.
Bob's face turned red and he said, "Yeah, sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I
did. Why do you ask?"
"She just died and left me everything."
