Its the way I tell them...
Ben had been in business for 25 years and was finally sick of the stress.
He quit his job and bought 50 acres of land in Alaska as far from
humanity as possible. Saw the postman once a week and got groceries once
a month; otherwise it was total peace and quiet.
After six months or so of almost total isolation, someone knocked on his
door. He opened it and there stood a huge, bearded man.
"Name's Lars, your neighbor from forty miles up the road...Having a
Christmas party Friday night... Thought you might like to come... About 5:00..."
"Great," said Ben, "after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."
As Lars was leaving, he stopped and said, "Gotta warn ya...There's gonna
be some drinkin'."
"Not a problem," said Ben. "after 25 years in business, I can drink with
the best of em."
Again, as he started to leave, Lars stopped and said, "More 'n' likely
gonna be some fightin' too! ."
Ben said, "Well, I get along with people, I'll be all right. I'll be there.
Thanks again."
Once again Lars turned from the door, saying "More'n likely be some wild sex, too."
"Now that's really not a problem," said Ben, warming to the idea. "I've
been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what should I wear?"
Lars stopped in the door again and said,"Whatever you want. Just gonna
be the two of us."
