Pretend Marriage

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 friggin' blanket.' 

 

After a moment of silence, ...............he farted.
