A Short Love Story

[kevjohn]

A man and a woman who had never met before and 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 dam_n blanket.”
