Although I'm too busy to post, I still want to share something amusing. Here's an item I received in today's email via non-blogger/reader Lisa. But wait, there's a question at the end that I would like to have your thoughts on.

"A man and a woman, who have never met before, find themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, the two are tired and fall asleep quickly...he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.

At 1:00 AM, he leans over and gently wakes 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 replies. "Just for tonight, let's
pretend that we're married."

"Wow! That's a great idea!!" he exclaims.

"Good," she replies. "Get your own damn blanket!"

After a long moment of silence, he farted."

I thought it was funny. A subliminal social commentary on the quasi-liberated sexes. But then I began to wonder, as I received various interesting responses from my co-workers, how you all would respond. Their answers will be posted later on tonight (I was assured), so in the meantime I want to hear your answers. And now for the questions:

For the men - would you have woken her up and asked, or would you have gotten the blanket yourself?

For the women - would you have gotten up to get the blanket when asked, or would you have answered in a similar fashion?
