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. The man was on the top bunk, and the woman was on the bottom bunk.

At about one o'clock in the morning, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman.

He said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm terribly cold. Would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket?"

"I have a better idea," she replied, "Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married."

"Wow...," the man said, "I think that's an amazing idea!"

"Good," she replied, "Get your own damn blanket."
