After being married for a number of years, reentering the dating scene may be an exciting as well as nerve-wracking experience. It’s a moment when you need to retain a clear head and be able to go with the flow, regardless of what comes your way. You can’t help but crack a grin while reading this story, which is about a widow who was 70 years old when she made the decision to find love again in an unexpected way.
This passionate widow, despite her advanced age, made the decision that it was time to get married once more. This is where our narrative begins. She advertised herself in the community newspaper, and the headline of her ad read:
“Husband sought after!” You can’t be older than me, can’t be faster than me, can’t be more active than me, and you’ve got to be able to keep up with me in bed. We ask that all applicants submit their applications in person.
She had been waiting with eagerness when, the following day, her doorbell was unexpectedly rung by a stranger. When she opened the door, she was taken aback to see a gentleman with white hair and graying facial hair seated in a wheelchair. The fact that he lacked arms and legs was an even more stunning aspect of his appearance.
Her first response was honest, and it went something like this: “You’re not really asking me to consider you, are you? Just take a look at you—you don’t even have legs!
The elderly gentleman, unfazed, responded with a friendly smile and the following statement: “Therefore, I cannot run around on you!”
However, the widow was not done: “You don’t have any arms either!” she pointed out to the man.
Once more, the elderly man flashed his trademark grin and responded, “Therefore, I can never beat you!”
“Are you still good in bed?” the widow inquired with a hint of interest as she arched an eyebrow. “I’ve been wondering.”
The elderly man sat back, broke into a broad grin, and delivered the perfect punchline without skipping a beat: “I rang the doorbell, didn’t I?”
This funny story serves as a reminder that love has no limits, and that sometimes the strangest of connections can lead to laughter and happiness in the most unexpected of places. Therefore, let this story serve as a lesson to remind you to welcome the unexpected in life and to never, at any point in your life, underestimate the power of comedy in finding love and joy. If you want to cheer up a friend today, all you have to do is make them laugh.
