Echo

Grumble: I just made my reservations at the Atlanta Hilton, which is great, but they go ahead and charge one night to your card. Thank God for the AWP rate.

The reservation lady was amused with my last name: "That's perfect for you to stay with us, isn't it?"

Yes, yes, it is.

As in TJ Hooker?

Paul said...

I have to admit, being TJ Hooker would be unspeakably awesome.

Sort of.

In theory.

Doesn't that deposit SUCK? I'll be a guest there too (hee hee).

Looking forward to meeting you, Paul!

Paul said...

The deposit totally sucks. Esp. when I used a debit card. They're taking real money! ;)

Looking forward to meeting you too!

Pardon if you've already suffered this, but I guess an Abbott & Costello style routine could be conjured from the exchange...

What's your first name, Sir?
Paul.
And last name?
Guest.
I'm not here to guess -- there are too many possibilities! If you want this reservation, Sir, you'll have to tell me your last name. You do want to stay here, don't you?
Guest.
Ha-ha-ha. Alright now, this is going a bit far, Sir. This is the Reservation Desk, not the Office of Speculation! . . .
