Two law partners, Ed and Joe, are driving through the country one evening during a vacation when their car breaks down near a farmhouse.

They knock on the door, and an attractive lady dressed in black opens it. “Can I help you?” she asks.

Ed says, “Our car broke down, it’s getting late, and we were wondering if you could put us up for the night?”

The lady shakes her head. “I don’t think so. I’m recently a widow, and it wouldn’t seem proper. What would my neighbors say?”

“We won’t cause any trouble,” Joe says. “We could sleep in your barn.”

She agrees, and the two men spend the night in the barn.

Nine months later, Ed receives a letter from another lawyer and walks into Joe’s office.

“Joe, do you remember that widow we met nine months ago?”

“Yeah.”

“That night in the barn, did you visit the farmhouse?”

“Uh… yeah.”

“Did you get a little intimate with the widow?”

“Yes.”

“And did you use my name?”

Joe turns red. “Yeah, Ed, I did.”

Ed smiles. “Cool. She died last month and left me the farm.”
