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 having to share the carriage they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly........he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.

At 1:00am though, the man was feeling cold and woke up, so he leaned down and gently woke the woman saying, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but could you 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. 'Well get your own blanket.'

After a moment of silence, he blew off.
