By the time a Marine pulled into a little town, every hotel room was taken.
"You've got to have a room somewhere," he pleaded. "Or just a bed, I don't
care where." "Well, I do have a double room with one occupant, a Navy guy,"
admitted the manager, "and he might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you
the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have
complained
in the past. I'm not sure it'd be worth it to you." "No problem," the tired
Marine
assured him. "I'll take it." The next morning the Marine came down to
breakfast
bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "How'd you sleep?" Asked the manager. "Never
better." The manager was impressed. No problem with the other guy snoring,
then?" "Nope, I shut him up in no time." Said the Marine. "How'd you manage
that?" asked the manager. "He was already in bed, snoring away, when I came
in the room," the Marine explained. "I went over, gave him a kiss on the
cheek, said, 'Goodnight, beautiful,' and he sat up all night watching me."
