QuoteNine Months Later
Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded up in Jack's minivan and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. 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 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.
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....."
"Yes, I do."
"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"
"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 red and he said, "Yeah, 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? Now keep that smile for the rest of the day!
QuoteThe National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the U.S. Auto makers for the past 5 years,whereby the auto makers were installing black box voice recorders in four-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to determine in fatal accidents the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.
They were surprised to find that in 42 of the 50 states the recorded last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh ****!"
Only in the Aroostook County area of Maine, specifically Caribou, Presque Isle,Fort Kent , Madawaska, Houlton, Mars Hill, Van Buren, Clayton Lake , and the entire northwestern area including Rangeley, Greenville, and Eustis were the driver's last words different.
In those locations, 89.3 percent of the driver's final words were:
"Hold my beer, I'm gonna try something"
