Software Engineer and Manager in Train

A young Programmer and his Project Manager board a train headed through

the mountains on its way to Wichita. 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 programmer 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 my granddaughter, but I’m glad she

slapped him.”

The Project manager is sitting there thinking, “I didn’t know the young

tech 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 guy kissed me,

but I wish my grandmother had not slapped him!”

The young programmer 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 Project manager all at the same

time!”
