>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

>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 use 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?)
