> > Back in the olden days, a man was traveling by foot through Switzerland.
> > Nightfall was approaching, and the man had no where to sleep. He walk up to a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could spend the night.The farmer told him that he could sleep in the barn. So the man went into the barn to bed down, and the farmer went back into the house. As the story goes, the farmer's daughter (you knew this was coming, right?) came downstairs and asked her father, "Who was that man going

Father answered, "He left several minutes ago." "What?" she cried. "He left without saying good-bye? After all we had together? I mean, last night he made such passionate love to me."
