Charlie decided to go skiing with his buddy, James. They loaded up Charlie's car and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. They pulled into a nearby farm house and asked the attractive lady of the house if they could spend the night. "I'm recently widowed," she explained, "and I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house." "Not to worry," Charlie said, "we'll be happy to sleep in the barn."

Nine months later, Charlie got a letter from the widow's attorney. He then went up to visit his friend James and said, "James, do you remember that good-looking widow at 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 have sex with her?" "Yes, I have to admit that I did." "Did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your name?" James' face turned red and he said, "Yeah, I'm afraid I did."

"Well, thanks! She just died and left me everything!"
