Tendjewberrymud

I scheduled this to post midmorning Friday, as we'll be well on our way to Durham by then! 
I printed copies of this to take along.  The ladies will enjoy reading this as we travel.  I might get one of the girls to help read it aloud if they can get thru it w/out cracking up.... wait... that's all these girls
DO!  
Never mind.

The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review. (so they say...)  ; )
This is best read aloud.  =)

Room Service (RS): Morny. Ruin sorbees.
