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. =)
