Once i was travelling from Bareilly(my hometown) to Delhi in a private bus . I got an aisle seat at the back of the bus. A man and a woman were already seated in the adjacent row and they had occupied the window and aisle seat respectively. The man was around 30 years old. The woman was also middle aged, but she seemed educated and looked like a working professional.
The bus started at 11 pm. For the first half an hour or so, the guy was quiet. He became restless after some time and attempted to strike a conversation with the lady sitting next to him (in broken English and with a strong accent ). He started asking her about her profession. The lady was least interested in the conversation and gave one word answers. After the question answer session, he started talking about his career, business and personal life. Though the lady hinted that she is not interested in his stuff, the guy went on. On top of that, his voice was quite loud and passengers in the next 3-4 rows were able to hear the conversation clearly. The lady decided to ignore the conversation and pretended to fall asleep. The guy finally stopped and he too dozed off.
We reached our destination early in the morning. The guy collected his stuff and was about to get down from the bus. Before leaving he said,
'It was an honor sleeping with you madam!
For a second or so, i did not grasp what he said. But the moment i realized the actual meaning of the phrase, i burst out laughing. The other passengers who understood also started laughing. The lady was left red faced. The guy who said this had no clue why everybody were laughing and quietly got down from the bus.
