Husband and Wife
A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves assigned
to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.
After the initial embarrassment and uneasiness, they both go to
sleep, the man in the upper berth, and the woman in the lower berth.
In the middle of the night the man leans over, wakes the woman
and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was
wondering if you could possibly reach over and get me another blanket?"
The woman leans out and, with a glint in her eye says, "I have
a better idea. Just for tonight let's pretend that we are married."
The man happily says, "OK. Brilliant!"
"Good ... get your own blanket."
