Getting back into the dating scene can be daunting, especially after being out of the game for so long. But it’s important to keep an open mind and not judge others too quickly. With that in mind, let me share a funny story that I recently stumbled upon online. Brace yourself for a tale involving a 70-year-old widow, a newspaper advert, and the quest for a new husband.

One day, while she was at home, the widow’s doorbell unexpectedly rang. Little did she know who would be on the other side. Here’s the full story – make sure you read until the punchline!


Once upon a time, a lonely 70-year-old widow decided that it was time to find love again. She took matters into her own hands and put an ad in the local newspaper. The ad read: “Husband wanted! Must be in my age group, must not beat me, must not run around on me, and must still be good in bed. All applicants please apply in person.”

The very next day, she heard the doorbell ring. To her surprise, she opened the door to find a gray-haired gentleman sitting in a wheelchair. He had no arms or legs.

“You’re not serious, are you?” the widow exclaimed. “Just look at you – you have no legs!”

With a gentle smile, the old man replied, “Therefore, I cannot run around on you!”

Undeterred, the widow raised an eyebrow and remarked, “You don’t have any arms either!”

Once again, the old man smiled and said, “Therefore, I can never beat you!”

Curiosity getting the better of her, the widow leaned in and asked, “Are you still good in bed?”

Leaning back, the old man beamed a big smile and confidently replied, “I rang the doorbell, didn’t I?”
