A Bit of Rainy-Day Humor

Jack decided to go fishing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded up Jack's mini-van and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard and pulled off the road at a nearby farm to see if they might be able to spend the night. An attractive lady answered the door when they knocked and said they were welcome to stay but that they would have to sleep in the barn. She had been recently widowed and didn't want to chance any neighbors talking.

Jack said, "Don't worry. We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light."

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 fishing.

About nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney...one who, as he quickly discovered, was representing that attractive widow who had allowed him and his buddy to spend that night in her barn. Subsequently, Jack dropped in on his friend, Bob, and asked if he remembered that lady.

"Yes, I do," said Bob.

"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house, and pay her a visit?" asked Jack.

"Yes," said Bob, 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?" questioned Jack.

Bob's face turned red, and he said, "Yeah, sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did. Why do you ask?"

"Well," said Jack, "she just died and left me everything."
