A Travel Agent Looked Up From His Desk

A Travel Agent looked up from his desk to see an old lady and an old gentleman peering in the shop

window at the many posters showing the glamorous destinations around the world. The agent had been

having a pretty 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 pensions you could never hope to

have a holiday like these, 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. Then, as can be expected, they gladly accepted, and were off!

About a month later the little old lady came into 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,” she said. “Who was that old bugger I had to share the room

with?”
