It seems that Abe and Morey, two salesmen for an advertising agency,were traveling together through the midwest, when they were caughtbetween towns during a driving snow storm.The further they went, the worse conditions got, and they finallyslid off into a ditch. Fortunately there was a house quite nearby.They waded through the drifts to the house, and after a shortconversation with the lady who answered the door, they were able toconvince her that they were no danger to her, and she let them come in.She prepared a meal for them, and during the conversation Abe andMorey learned that she was a widow of a few years standing.Conditions continued to deteriorate, and she prepared the guest roomfor Abe and Morey.The next day about 10:00 AM, a snowplow came through and helpfullypulled the salesmen’s car our of the ditch, after cleaning the road.Abe and Morey thanked th widow Brown and went on their rounds.Nine months later, Abe called Morey, and asked if Morey had, by somechance, happened to have drifted down the hall to the wodow Brown’sbedroom after he (Abe) had gone to sleep. After a little hemming andhawing, Morey admitted he had. With a little further prodding, headmitted that he had given the good lady Abe’s name, address and phonenumber as his own.Where upon Abe said, „That explains this letter from her lawyer sayingshe has left her entire estate to me!“
