Widow on the Beach (Work safe, child discretion)

[Ruud Van Driver]

A widowed Jewish lady, still in good shape, was sunbathing on a totally deserted beach at Ft.Myers. She looked up to see that a man of similar age, also fairly trim, had walked up and placed his blanket on the sand quite close to hers and had immediately begun to read a book.

She smiled towards him and tried to strike up a conversation.

"How are you today?"

"Fine, thank you," he responded tersely and then turned back to his book.

"I love this beach. Do you come here often?" she persisted.

"First time since my wife passed away two years ago," he replied and turned back to his book once more.

"I'm sorry to hear that. My husband passed away three years ago and I know how it can get very lonely," she said, trying for a little sympathy. But response there came none.

Still not put off by his brusque manner, she enquired "Do you live around here?"

"Yes, I live over in Cape Coral ", he answered and again resumed reading.

Seeking a topic of possible common interest, she thought she’d try him on pets. "Do you like pussy cats?"

At that, the man dropped his book, strode forcefully over to her blanket, ripped off her swimsuit and performed the most intense lovemaking of her life, despite the lack of foreplay.

When the sand began to settle, she managed to gasp the question "How did you know that was exactly what I needed?"

The man replied, "And how did you know my name was Katz?"
