A travel agent looked up from his desk to see an old lady and an old
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 expected,
gladly accepted the holiday 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 guy I
had to share the room with?'
