PARAPROSDOKIANS XXII
From Reader's Digest
Gabe Kaplan on The Tonight Show," NBC
After arriving with his secretary at a Chicago hotel, Mr. Martin discovered that there was a mix-up and the desk clerk did not have his reservations for two rooms. "There is only one room available," said the clerk, "but it has twin beds and we can put a divider between them." Tired and angry, Mr. Martin looked at his secretary, she nodded OK, and so they took the room.
After opening the window and saying good night, they went to their beds. In the middle of the night, the secretary called out, "Mr. Martin, I'm chilly. Will you close the window?"
He thought for a moment, then said, "How would you like to be Mrs. Martin for tonight?"
"I would like that," she replied.
"Good," he said. "Then you get up and close the window."
