He's sitting at the bar, nursing a drink when an attractive lady sits down next to him.
"Do you come here often?" she asks.
"No, this is my first time here."
"Where have you been?"
"In prison."
"Why? What did you do?"
"I killed my wife."
"Oh! That means you're single?"
After almost two months of on-line dating, my research is over. Although it was an interesting experience, it bore little, if any fruit, and was an expensive project. A little background:
I am a widow of almost three years. I am reasonably attractive - for an old broad -; have not yet begun to show that Alzheimer's runs in my family; like to cook; like to read; like to write. Still physically active - walk my 11 year old Golden Retriever 1-2 miles a day; like the human touch and miss the hugs and comfort that a man can give me. I am a retired educator - public as well as governmental; have 3 grown daughters and a passel of grandchildren. With all that in mind, I signed up with 3 "on-line dating services" : "Senior People Meet"; "BB People Meet" - Big and Beautiful - and Match.com. I originally signed up for EHarmony.com, but it was too costly and I did not complete the application. My profile reads:
"A LITTLE ABOUT ME...
I am an educator; a liberal; like to read; like to cook; have authored 2 cook books; am a staff writer for our local liberal newspaper. A non-smoker with no tolerance for smokers. A social drinker. Have grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Must like dogs - Have a large 11 year old Golden Retriever. Widow of 28 months. Not looking for a replacement - looking for a companion. Have students from foreign countries living with me to study English. Somewhat of a romantic - if the feelings are right.
ABOUT THE ONE I'M LOOKING FOR...
Honest; caring; enjoys humor; no children living at home; No financial worries but not a spendthrift or miser either. Liberal and/or Democrat. Enjoys a nice evening at home as well as going out. I am looking for someone between 60-70.
