Get your own blanket..
by, Partha Mitra
A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same
sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment, they both
manage to get to sleep - she on the top bunk and he on the bottom bunk.

In the middle of the night, the woman leans over and says, "I'm sorry to
bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could
possibly pass me another blanket."

The man leans out and with raised eyebrows and a glint in his eye says,
"I've got a better idea... let's pretend we're married."

She thinks for a moment and then says "Why not?" giggles the woman.

"Good," he replies. "Get your own blanket."
