HAVE A LAUGH

-

A KISS AND A SLAP

A YOUNG technician and his general manager board a train headed through the mountains on its way to the coast.

The only seats available were two seats right across the aisle from a young woman and her grandmothe­r.

After a while, it is obvious that the young woman and the young tech are interested in each other.

They start exchanging glances.

Soon the train passes into a tunnel and it is pitch black.

There is a sound of a kiss followed by the sound of a slap.

When the train emerges from the tunnel, the four sit there without saying a word.

The grandmothe­r is thinking to herself, “It was very brash for that young man to kiss my granddaugh­ter, but I’m glad she slapped him.”

The general manager is sitting there thinking, “I didn’t know the young tech was brave enough to kiss the girl, but I sure wish she hadn’t missed him when she slapped and hit me!”

The young woman was sitting and thinking, “I’m glad the guy 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!”
