In
search of companionship, a 70-year-old widow decided to embark on the journey
of marriage once more. To make her intentions known, she crafted a candid
advertisement for the local newspaper:
"Seeking
Husband! Must be within my age range, compassionate, faithful, and maintain
vitality. Interested candidates, kindly present yourselves in person."
The
very next day, a knock at the door caught her attention. With a mixture of
anticipation and trepidation, she opened the door to find a silver-haired
gentleman comfortably seated in a wheelchair. Remarkably, he lacked both arms
and legs.
"You
aren't seriously proposing yourself, are you?" the widow inquired, her
skepticism evident. "Look at you – you're without legs!"
Yet,
the elderly man's response was lighthearted and sincere: "Indeed, that's
true, which means I can never venture astray."
Her
skepticism persisted: "And you lack arms as well!"
Once
more, the old gentleman's smile radiated warmth and wisdom: "Precisely,
ensuring that I shall never bring harm upon you."
Curiosity
piqued, the widow posed a final, pointed question: "Are you still capable
of intimacy?"
In response, the old man reclined in his wheelchair, a wide grin adorning his face, and quipped, "Well, my dear, I did ring your doorbell, didn't I?"
