A young Marine
A young Marine and his commanding officer board a train headed through the
mountains of Switzerland. 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 the young soldier are
interested in each other .
Soon the train passes into a tunnel and it is pitch black. There is a sound of
the smack of a kiss followed by the sound of the smack 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
soldier to kiss my granddaughter, but I'm glad she slapped him."
The commanding officer is thinking: "I didn't know the young Marine was
brave enough to kiss the girl, but I sure wish she hadn't missed him when she
slapped me!"
The young woman was sitting and thinking: "I'm glad the soldier kissed me,
but I wish my grandmother had not slapped him!"
The young Marine sat there with a satisfied smile on his face. He thought to
himself: "Life is good. When does a fellow have the chance to kiss a
beautiful girl and slap his commanding officer all at the same time!"
