Unlikely Cruisaholics
A travel
agent looked up from his desk to see an older lady and an older gentleman peering in the
shop window at the posters showing glamorous cruise 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 and said, "I know that on your pension you could never
hope to have a holiday, so I am sending you off on a fabulous all-inclusive cruise
vacation at my expense, and I won't take no for an answer."
He took them inside and asked his secretary to write two cruise tickets on the world's
most luxurious cruise liner, complete with first-class airfare to their destination. They,
as can be expected, gladly accepted, and were on their way.
About a month later the little old lady came in to his shop.
"And how did you like your cruise holiday?" he asked eagerly.
"The cruise was exciting, the food was excellent, and the entertainment was
superb," 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?"
