A man and a woman who had never met before, but were both married to 
other people, 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 bunk.

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. "Go get your own fucking blanket."

After a moment of silence, he rolled over and farted.
