A Short Love Story



A man and a woman who had never met before but were both married to other people found themselves assigned to the same sleeping compartment on a trans-continental train.


Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly -- he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.


At 1 a.m., the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet and get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."


"I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married."


"Wow! That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.


"Good," she replied. "Get your own darn blanket."


After a moment of silence, he farted.
