John, who lived in the north of England, decided to go golfing in Scotland with his buddy Shawn, so they loaded up John's minivan and headed north.   After driving for several hours, they got caught in a terrible downpour, so they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the woman 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, "and I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house."



"Don't worry." John said.   "We'll be happy to sleep in the barn and if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light."



The woman agreed and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.



Come morning, the weather had cleared so they got on their way and enjoyed a great weekend of golf.



But about nine months later, John 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 golf weekend.



He dropped in on his friend Shawn and asked, "Shawn, do you remember that good looking widow on the farm we stayed at on our golf holiday in Scotland about 9 months ago?"



"Yes, I do," said Shawn.



"Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house, and pay her a visit?"



"Well, um, yes," Shawn said, a little embarrassed about being found out.   "I have to admit that I did."



"And did you happen to give her my name and address instead of telling her your name?"



Shawn's face turned beet red and he said, "Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy.   I'm afraid I did.   Why do you ask?"



"She just died and left me everything.



You thought the ending would be different, didn't you? You know you smiled, so keep that smile for the rest of the day.
