Widow's Classified Ad
A woman's husband has died. After a few months, she decides she wants a new one. She submits a classified ad as follows:
- Widow looking for a new husband. To be considered, you must conform to these three criteria:
- You can't beat me (as my first husband did).
- You can't run around on me (as my first husband did).
- You MUST be good in bed (as my first husband wasn't).
A few days later, the doorbell rings. She opens the door and a man without any arms and or legs is sitting in a wheel chair.
- Can I help you? - she says.
- I'm here about your ad in the paper.
- Which ad is that?
- The one looking for a husband.
She says:
- Uhm, well, there were certain criteria...
- Yes, I know. Obviously, I could never beat you... I have no arms.
- Well, yes, I see that... but there were other criteria.
- And, as you can see, I could never run around on you... I have no legs.
- Well, yes, that's true... but there was one other thing that is very important...
- Ah, yes, well... how do you think I rang the door bell?
