chronicles of a hotel receptionist: part 1
boy: the basketball game machine... i put a quarter in it and it didn't go.
she: okay, here is another quarter, see if that works. if not, then don't play that game.
25 minutes later
boy: the game with the claw, i put in the dollar and it won't go in and the machine won't make the dollar into quarters any more, can i have some quarters.
she: (hands him 4 quarters and takes the wrinkled dollar bill)
10 minutes later
boy: umm. do you have a ping pong ball?
she: there are two orange ones on the rack near the table, with the paddles
boy: thank you
1 hour later
boy: the soda machine ate my dollar
she: machines get hungry sometimes too you know
boy (looks at she funny) (waits) can i have a dollar?
she: are you going to share you drink with the machine?
boy: no
she: (sighs) here's a dollar.
2 minutes later
boy: it ate it again
she: i told you, it's hungry
boy: it's a soda machine
she: and?
boy: can i have a dollar? again?
she: (hands him another dollar)
p.s. true story, however, it was not the same boy each time, and i didn't time them to know how many minutes between them there was.

Reminiscent of Hotel Science.
Word verification took my dollar. Could you refund me? :)
you'll have to speak to the manager, and she's not until 9am on monday.
p.s. paaonnt
word verifications just keep getting weirder.
You've become the money-making machine! Except for the info on the ping-pong balls. :) This is a case of "when it rains, it pours".
