A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement 


money wisely,
so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a 


few acres in Portugal .
The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 


15 years.; the owner and wife both
had died, and there were no heirs. 


The house was sold to pay taxes. There
had been several lookers, 


but the large barn had steel doors, and they had
been welded 

shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was
in 

the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway......so,
nobody made an offer on the place. 

B  
The New York guy bought it at just
over half of the property's worth, moved 

in, and set about to tear in to the
barn.......curiosity was killing him. 

B  
B  
So, he and his wife bought a
generator, and a couple of B grinders..........and 
cut B thru the welds. 
B 
What was in the barn...............?
