The Snoring Solution
By the time a sailor arrived in town, every hotel room was taken.
"You must have something," he pleaded. "Even just a bed. I don't care where."
"Well, I do have a twin room with only one occupant—an airman," the manager said. "He'd be happy to split the cost. But I must warn you: he snores so loudly that previous roommates have complained bitterly. I'm not sure it would suit you."
"No problem," the weary sailor replied. "I'll take it."
The next morning, he came down to breakfast looking bright-eyed.
"How did you sleep?" the manager asked.
"Never better."
The manager was impressed. "No trouble with the snorer?"
"None at all. I soon kept him quiet."
"How did you do that?"
"When I entered, he was already in bed snoring. I walked over, kissed his cheek, and said, 'Good night, darling.' He sat up all night keeping an eye on me."
