A Short Love Story
A man and a woman who had never met before, but 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 berth and she in the lower. At 1:00 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.
- Wow! That’s a great idea!, he exclaimed.
- Good, she replied. Get your own fucking blanket!
After a moment of silence, … he farted.
