A travel agent looked up from his desk to see an
older lady and an older gentleman peering in the shop
window at the posters showing the glamorous
destinations around the world. The agent had had a
good week and the dejected couple looking in the
window gave him a rare feeling of generosity.
He called them into his shop, "I know that on
your pension you could never hope to have a holiday,
so I am sending you off to a fabulous resort at my
expense, and I won't take no for an answer."
He took them inside and asked his secretary to
write two flight tickets and book a room in a five star
hotel. They, as can be expected, gladly accepted,
and were off!
About a month later the little old lady came in to
his shop.
"And how did you like your holiday?" he asked eagerly.
"The flight was exciting and the room was lovely,"
she said. "I've come to thank you. But, one thing puzzled
me. Who was that old fart I had to share the room with?"
