Marriage Proposal

[Panhead]

The Marriage Proposal.

An elderly pair (he a widower, she a widow) meet in a retirement village.
They seem to hit it off; they share each other's values, enjoy the same jokes,
and find pleasure in each other's company.

After a few months, the widower asks for the hand of the widow in marriage.
She appears hesitant and decided to probe her soon-to-be a little.

"Perhaps I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but....How's your
health?"

"It's OK", he answers. "I'm not getting any younger, but I don't
have
any major health problems. I can still enjoy life".

"Well, then", she replies "I don't want to be a snoop, but I've
got to protect myself: how are you fixed financially?"

"So-so. I'm not rich, but I'm comfortable. You don't have
to worry about me sponging off you; I can support myself".

The little old lady blushes, and finally asks her swain -
"And how's your sex life...."

"Infrequently", he declares.

The widow ponders this for a moment or so, before asking...
"And is that one word or two?
