Watch out for the cover of that book!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Randi Brammer, Acctg.

I don't have a lot of time to read, but every now and again I buy a book and take the next 3 months to read it.  The titles are not always what you would expect.  I thought this story kinda fit some of the books I have purchased!

A man was looking in a book store.  A big sign caught his attention.  Newly translated from the original French version: 37 mating positions.

Knowing that he and his wife's bedroom life was a bit stale, and the book was already wrapped in a brown wrapper, he just hadda have one.

Once safely at home and away from his wife he unwrapped the book to find...he had just purchased an expensive book on CHESS!

I bet he was surprised.  You never can judge a person a person on how they look.

I am not sure that is going to save his love life. Unless he challenges the wife to a game and she wins!-Dinah Lee

HMM, I wonder what he thought he was buying?  Chess is a very competative game and you can't let the secrets out for free.;)
