Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Dan. 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 Dan and asked, "Dan, 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 Dan.
"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!," Dan 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?"
Dan'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."
