This woman decided to put an ad in the personal
column of the newspaper.  The ad read as follows:

Looking for gentleman who will not beat me up,
will not run around with other women, and he
must be a good lover.

Soon after posting the ad, the woman's doorbell rings
and there appears a man with no arms and no legs.
She says "can I help you" and he said "yes, I'm here
in response to your ad".  She says to him "I don't
think you read the ad very carefully.  He says "yes
I did, you said you wanted someone who would not beat you.
I have no arms so I can't beat you up.  You said you
wanted someone that would not run around with other women.
I can't because I have no legs."  So she says, "but I also
said that he must be a good lover."  And the man's reply
was "well, I rang the doorbell didn't I!!"
