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, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, him in the upper bunk and her in the lower.

At 1 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 the night, let’s pretend we’re married.”

“Wow! That’s a great idea,” he exclaimed.

“Good,” she replied. “Get your own blanket,” she snapped back.

After a moment of silence, he farted.
