\nFour strangers found themselves traveling together in the same compartment of a European train: two men and two women, all facing one another.<\/p>\n
One woman was a 75-year-old lady, wealthy and sophisticated, decked out in the finest furs and jewelry.<\/p>\n
Next to her sat a beautiful 19-year-old woman, radiating a model-like presence straight out of a fashion magazine.<\/p>\n
Across from the older lady sat a man in his late forties, a highly decorated Sergeant Major in the Army. And next to the Sergeant Major sat a young private, fresh out of boot camp.<\/p>\n
As the four chatted about trivial things during the ride, they suddenly entered an unlit tunnel, plunging the compartment into complete darkness and silence. Then, a distinct kiss broke the quiet, followed by a loud slap that echoed throughout the cabin.<\/p>\n
In the awkward silence that followed, each of the four strangers was lost in their own thoughts:<\/p>\n
The older lady thought, \u201cHow wonderful it is that, even in this permissive age, there are still young women who have enough self-respect and dignity to avoid such behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
The young woman, puzzled, wondered, \u201cWhy would any man want to kiss an old fossil like that when I\u2019m sitting here?\u201d<\/p>\n
The Sergeant Major, rubbing his sore face, was furious. \u201cHow dare anyone think that I would try to sneak a kiss in the dark? This is beyond ridiculous!\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the young private, grinning from ear to ear, thought to himself, \u201cWhat a crazy world this is\u2014where a private can kiss the back of his hand and then smack a Sergeant Major in the face and get away with it!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
