A young technician and his general manager board a train headed
through the mountains on its way to Kansas. They can find no place
to sit except for two seats right across the aisle from a young
woman and her grandmother.
After a while, its obvious that the young woman and the young tech
are interested in each because of the looks theyre giving each
other. Soon the train passes into a tunnel and it goes pitch black.
There is a sound of the smack of a kiss followed by the sound of a
slap. When the train emerges from the tunnel, the four sit there in
silence without saying a word.
The grandmother is thinking to herself: It was very brash for that
young man to kiss my granddaughter, but Im glad she slapped him.
The General manager is thinking: I didnt know the young tech was
brave enough to kiss that girl, but I sure wish she hadnt missed
him when she slapped and hit me! The young woman was sitting there
thinking: Im glad he kissed me, but I wish my grandmother had not
slapped him! The young tech sat there with a satisfied smile on
his face. He thought to himself: Life is good. How often does a
guy have the chance to kiss a beautiful girl and slap his general
manager all at the same time!
