A gentleman alights from the train and is greeted by his wife who notices that he isn't smiling. "Darling, aren't you happy to see me
here?" she asks him. "Yes, I am. But I have a headache because I was seated in the opposite direction of the train's movement."

"Oh dear," says the wife, "You could have requested the passenger sitting opposite to exchange seats." "How could I?" replies the husband,
"there was nobody opposite me."
