(This story is much better if you can see the person telling it. He can do the hand actions at the end of the story. Just visualize it as best you can.)

They were going to visit an offensive tackle who lived in a remote section of Montana. Well, unbeknownst to each other. They planned their in home visit on the same day. They landed in Billings and then took a train to the little town they were heading to. The train was one of the old fashioned things where you had two benches facing each other. Just like you would see in old western movies.

Well when they got on the train, there were only two seats available. Sitting so they were facing each other. Dabo took one seat and Shane the other. Just then two women got on the train. One was a pleasant elderly lady going to visit her grandkids. The other was an attractive young lady who had just graduated from college and was heading to her first job - the teacher in the one room schoolhouse in the town where the football player was.

Since every other bench was full, Dabo and Shane politely slide over and invited the two ladies to sit with them.

There was no electricity on the train. They entered a tunnel, so the cabin got dark. Suddenly there was a "Smack!" like someone had been kissed, then a "Slap!" like someone had been hit across the face with an open palm.

They came out of the tunnel and everyone thought they knew what had happened.

The grandmother saw Shane holding his jaw and she thought, "That man kissed this pretty young lady and she slapped him. Good for her."

The young lady thought, "That man thought he was kissing me and he kissed her instead and she slapped him. Good for her."

Shane thought, "Dabo kissed that young lady and she thought it was me. So she slapped me."

Meanwhile, Dabo was just sitting there waiting on another tunnel so he could kiss the back of his hand and slap Shane again.
