A Short Love Story

A man and a woman who had never met before, and who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room 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 2:00 AM, 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 to 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." "Yes. That's a great idea!" he exclaimed. "Good," she replied. "Get your own damn blanket!"

After a moment of stunned silence, he farted.
