One winter, Jack and his best friend, Bob, decided to go ice fishing. [For those who are unfamiliar with ice fishing, it is a common winter sport in the northern states.] They loaded Jack's minivan and headed north. On their way, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. They pulled into the nearest farm, where a very attractive lady answered their knock on the farmhouse's door. They asked if they could spend the night.
"I realize the weather out there is terrible and I have this huge house, but I've been recently widowed and I live alone. I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house." she explained.
"Don't worry," Jack said, "we'll gladly sleep in the barn, and as soon as the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light."
The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn where they settled in for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they went on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of fishing.
About nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from some attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure out what the letter was all about, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of the beautiful widow he and Bob had met the weekend they got caught in the blizzard. He immediately jumped into his car to see his friend Bob.
As soon as Bob opened the door, Jack asked, "Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow at the farm we stayed in during the blizzard on our way up north on our fishing trip last winter?"
"I most certainly do."
"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house, and pay her a visit?"
"Yes, I did" Bob confessed rather embarrassedly after having been found out.
"And did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your real name?"
Bob's face turned red as he muttered, "Yeah, I'm afraid I did. Sorry, buddy. Why do you ask?"
"Well, she just died and left me everything."
And you thought it was something else, didn't you? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
