A senior love story

Sarah and Bill, both 91 lived in a retirement community. They met in the social center and discovered overtime that they enjoyed each other company. After several weeks for coffee, Bill asked Sarah out for dinner and much to his delight, she accepted.

They had a lovely evening together. They dined at the most romantic restaurant in town and Bill gave Sarah a gift to show his affection, despite his age. Bill was still a charmer. Later, Bill asked Sarah to join him at his place for an after-dinner drink. Things continued along a natural course and age being no inhibitor. Sarah soon join Bill for a most enjoyable roll in the hav.

As they were basking in the glow of the magic moments they'd shared, each was lost for a time in their own thoughts.

Bill was thinking: If I'd she was a virgin, I would have been more gentle.

Sarah was thinking: If I had known he could still do it, I would have taken off my pantyhose.

Beautiful hotel coming soon

If you are looking for really something different, this might be it. Atkins has won an international competition to design a five-star resort hotel set within a beautiful 100-meter deep quarry in the Songjiang district close to Shanghai in China . Based on these pictures, the hotel looks almost unreal, but this project is expected to be completed by May, 2009. Its stunning concept designs inspired by the natural water and landscape features of the quarry captured the imagination of judges to quash competition from two other international firms. The quarry will provide protection from the weather, and reduce the energy needs of the hotel. The complex will contain restaurants, cafes, sport facilities, and will even include underwater public areas.






The innovative design of the 400-bed resort hotel stands two levels higher than the rock face of the 100-meter deep quarry and includes underwater public areas and guestrooms. It will incorporate conference facilities for up to 1,000 people, a banqueting center, restaurants, cafés and sports facilities. Sustainability is integral to the design ranging from using green roofing for the structures above the ground level to geothermal energy extraction. An aquatic theme runs through the design both visually and functionally. Two underwater levels will house a restaurant and guestrooms facing a ten-meter deep aquarium. The lowest level of the hotel will contain a leisure complex with a swimming pool and water-based sports. An extreme sports centre for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water level of the hotel.

Nine months later

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. So they loaded up Jack's mini van and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.

'I realise it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,' she explained. 'I'm afraid the neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house.'


'Don't worry ,' Jack said. 'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light.' The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.

About nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.

He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, 'Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?'

'Yes, I do 'said Bob'.

'Did you, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?'

'Well, um, yes,' Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out, 'I have to admit that I did.'

'And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?'

Bob's face turned beet red and he said, 'Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did.' 'Why do you ask?'


'She just died and left me everything.'


(And you thought the ending would be different, didn't you?... You know you smiled...now keep that smile for the rest of the day!)
