A widow and widower lived next door to each other. They had been neighbors for over 30 years, but each had lost their spouse not too long ago.

Over a number of weeks, they had become close.

One day, the man asked the woman if she enjoyed fishing. Yes, she replied, she used to enjoy fishing with her late husband.

The man agreed to pick her up at 6 a.m. the next morning. They went down to the river at the time they decided the next day, and began fishing.

After a while, the man began to move the boat upstream. They came to a fork in the river and the man asked the woman, "Up or down." Being nice, he wanted to let her decide.

The woman looked around, promptly took off all her clothes and jumped on the old man. They had passionate sex. After a while, they redressed and resumed fishing.

Later in the day, they came to another fork in the river. Again, the man asked, "Up or down," and once again the woman stripped and another round of passionate sex commenced.

That evening, upon arriving home, the man asked the woman if she would like to go fishing again the next day. The woman agreed.

A little after 6 a.m. the next morning, they got to the river.

As they came across that first fork in the river, the hopeful man asked the lady, "Up or down."

"Down," the woman replied.

A little surprised, the man headed that way. After a morning of fishing, they got to another fork. "Up or down," the man asked. "Up," the woman said.

"Wait a minute," the man said. "Yesterday, when I asked that question, you took all your clothes off and we had passionate sex. What’s going on?"
