By the time the sailor got into town, every hotel room was taken.
"You've got to have a room somewhere," he pleaded at the last hotel.
"Or just a bed, I don't care where."
"Well, I do have a double room with one occupant - an Air Force
pilot," 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 the
rooms next door have complained in the past. I'm not sure it'd be
worth it to you."
"No problem," the tired Navy man assured him, "I'll take it."
The next morning the sailor 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?"
"Nope, I quietened him in no time," replied the Navy guy.
"How'd you manage that?" asked the manager.
"He was already in bed, snoring away, when I came in the room," the
sailor explained. "I went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and
said, 'Goodnight, beautiful,' and he sat up all night watching me."
