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 compartment 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 bloody blanket."
