Four divorced friends\u2014Doris, Betty, Ruth, and Joan\u2014met at their favorite bar in Arizona.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo being single,\u201d Doris said, raising her margarita. \u201cI finally sleep in the middle of the bed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI finally control the thermostat,\u201d Betty added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI bought the white sofa my husband said we could never keep clean,\u201d said Ruth.<\/p>\n
Joan grinned. \u201cTurns out the stain was him.\u201d<\/p>\n
They were still laughing when a handsome silver-haired cowboy approached.<\/p>\n
\u201cLadies, I couldn\u2019t help noticing you. Are any of you available?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll four,\u201d Doris said. \u201cBut we\u2019ve improved our screening process.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFair enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you cook?\u201d Betty asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cBest barbecue in the county.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cClean?\u201d Ruth asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy kitchen\u2019s spotless.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDance?\u201d Doris asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cUntil they turn the lights on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joan lowered her glasses. \u201cAnd can you take direction from a woman?\u201d<\/p>\n
The cowboy smiled. \u201cFor the right woman, absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n
The four friends exchanged delighted looks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell,\u201d he said, straightening his hat, \u201cwhich one of you gets to take me home?\u201d<\/p>\n
Joan pulled a pen from her purse.<\/p>\n
