A man and a woman, who had never met before

A man and a woman, who had never met before

found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.

Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room

the two were tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.

At 2:00 AM, he leaned over and gently wakes the woman, saying,

“Ma’am, I’m sorry to bother you, but would you be kind enough 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, why don’t we pretend that we’re married?”

“Wow! That’s a great idea!!” he is excited.

And she said.

“Then get up and take it yourself”!!
