The programmer and the train

The programmer and the train

A programmer and his boss are traveling by train on a business trip, and not having any other place to sit, find a booth with a pretty young lady and presumably her mother sitting across from them.

The train enters a dark tunnel and two sounds ring clearly in the dark: one being the sound of a kiss and second being an unmistakable slap across the face.

As the train exits the tunnel, the following thoughts entered the minds of the four passengers:

Boss: "I never figured my employee to be so brash to kiss someone on the train like that. Not that I care much, except I wish the the young lady hadn't accidentally slapped me instead of him."

Young lady: "Wow, I hardly expected to be kissed like that, though I wish my mother hadn't overreacted like that."

Mother: "How rude of that young man to kiss my daughter, though she didn't have *slap* the poor soul..."

Programmer: "It's not every day that one can slap his boss and kiss a pretty young lady. Life is good."
