A couple is waiting in line

A couple is waiting in line with other guests to register at a busy hotel,

and eventually are told that the only available room has twin beds. The husband looks disappointed and says,

“We’ve been sharing a bed for 44 years. I don’t know about that.”

The wife says, “Can we at least put the beds close together?”

The other guests in line smile, and one even quips, “How sweet!”

The wife then explains, “It’s just that if he snores, I want to be able to elbow him.
