Two men were seated in the same row on a plane. The man in the window seat was an English teacher, the man next to him was a sailor. The English teacher was excited to fly across the country for a vacation in Hawaii and couldn't wait to arrive, but the sailor was in a bad mood.<br><br>"Excuse me," the English teacher said, "But what's wrong with you?"<br><br>"Why do you think?"<br><br>"I don't know."<br><br>"Would you like to know?"<br><br>"Probably."<br><br>"You probably will in the end, so here it is. I just found out yesterday that my wife has been cheating on me for a year, so we're getting a divorce. That's why I'm in a bad mood."<br><br>"I'm sorry. It's awful when something like that happens."<br><br>"Oh, is it? You have no idea. You don't know what a cheater is, do you?"<br><br>"I don't know what you mean."<br><br>"You've never been cheated on, have you? I don't think anyone who has been cheated on could honestly say they're sorry for someone like that. I think anyone who's been cheated on would want to kill the cheater. They're not worthy to live. But you know, that's just my opinion."<br><br>"Well, I'm sorry about what happened to you. It sucks."<br><br>"You're sorry. What a good guy. Well, at least you're not a cheater. That's good for you, I suppose. But it's over between my wife and me, and it's better that way. It would have been worse if I had known about it sooner. She tried to hide it from me, but I finally found out. I'll be better off without her, so I shouldn't complain."<br><br>"I hope you find someone else."<br><br>"Oh, really? You're optimistic, aren't you? You think everything will work out in the end, don't you?"<br><br>"Most things, anyway."<br><br>"I see. I think that's very naive. I think you're very naive. I think everyone who thinks like you is naive."<br><br>"Maybe, but sometimes things do work out. It's not all doom and gloom. You can find love again."<br><br>"Well, I suppose it's possible. But I don't think it'll happen anytime soon. I'm not optimistic like you, you know."<br><br>"I think you might be more optimistic than you think. You don't have to let yourself get hurt again. If you don't want to, you can just wait until you're ready. I think you'll find someone else. I think it's only a matter of time."<br><br>"Oh, really? You're a fortune teller now, too? I wouldn't count on it. But I suppose it's possible."<br><br>"Yes, it is. You'll find someone else, I'm sure of it."<br><br>"I hope so. I really do. Thanks."<br><br>"Anytime. I'm glad I could help."<br><br>"You helped? I don't think so."<br><br>"Oh, come on."<br><br>"No, I really don't think so. I couldn't have done that without you."<br><br>"I see."<br><br>"You shouldn't feel bad."<br><br>"Oh, I don't. I didn't do anything to help you."<br><br>"Yes, you did."<br><br>"How?"<br><br>"I don't know. But you did help me. And I'm grateful for that."<br><br>"Oh, come on. You're not grateful to me at all, are you?"<br><br>"No, I'm not. I just said that to make you feel good, because you were so sad. You're not worthy of my gratitude. You're a cheater. But I wanted to help you, so I lied. I told you that I was grateful to you, and I said it sincerely, because it's true. You helped me, and I'm grateful to you. But not for what you did, I'm grateful to you for not giving up. You're strong, and you can do it."<br><br>"Oh, my. That was very kind of you. I really appreciate that. I'm not worthy of your gratitude, I think, but I'm glad you felt that way about me. I feel a little bit better now."<br><br>"Oh, good."<br><br>"I'm glad I could help you, even if it was the other way around. I'm glad we could both help each other."<br><br>"I'm glad, too. We're glad."<br><br>"I think so."<br><br>"You do think so, don't you?"<br><br>"Oh, I suppose."<br><br>"I think you really do."<br><br>"You probably do."<br><br>"Oh, come on."<br><br>"You probably do."<br><br>"Oh, I suppose you are right."<br><br>"Oh, I think I am. You're probably glad, too, aren't you?"<br><br>"Oh, yes."<br><br>"Oh, yes what?"<br><br>"Oh, yes, I am glad. Thank you for being so kind to me."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome."<br><br>"Thank you very much."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome."<br><br>"You're very sweet. You're a very kind man."<br><br>"Oh, I don't know if I'm sweet or kind, but thank you."<br><br>"Oh, you are."<br><br>"Oh, thank you. I appreciate that."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome."<br><br>"You're welcome, too."<br><br>"Oh, thank you."<br><br>"You're welcome."<br><br>"Oh, thank you very much."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome, too."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome. I'm glad we could help each other."<br><br>"Oh, I am too. Thank you."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome."<br><br>"Oh, thank you."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome."<br><br>"Oh, thank you."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome."<br><br>"Oh, you're welcome.
