A young Technician Phillip and his General Manager Seth 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, it is obvious that the young woman and Phillip are interested in each other, because they are giving each other looks.
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 Odessa, but Im glad she slapped him.
Seth is setting there thinking, I didnt know Phillip was brave enough to kiss the girl, but I sure wish she hadnt missed him when she slapped and hit me!
Odessa was sitting and thinking, Im glad the guy kissed me, but I wish my grandmother had not slapped him!
Phillip 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!
