9 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, t

hey 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!)

Love,
