Two fell runners get caught in a terrible blizzard. They run to a nearby farm and ask the attractive lady who answers the door if they can spend the night there.
"I realise its terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she explains. "I'm afraid the neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house."
"Don't worry," Jack replied. "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, as promised, they got on their way.
Some nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from a lawyer. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was about the attractive widow they had met on the winter fell running weekend.
He phoned his friend Bob and asked, "Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at?"
"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 yours?"
There was silence on the line for a moment or two then Bob said, "Yeah, sorry pal. I'm afraid I did. Why do you ask?"
"She just died and left me everything!"
