> -------------
>
> Mary Poppins was traveling home, but due to worsening weather,
> she decided to stop at a hotel for the night. She approached the
> receptionist and asked for a room for the night.
>
> "Certainly madam," he replied courteously.
>
> "Is the restaurant open still?" inquired Mary.
>
> "Sorry, no," came the reply, "but room service is available all night.
>
> Would you care to select something from this menu?"
>
> Mary smiled and took the menu and perused it. "Hmm, I would like
> cauliflower cheese please," said Mary.
>
> "Certainly, madam," he replied.
>
> "And can I have breakfast in bed?" asked Mary politely.
>
> The receptionist nodded and smiled.
>
> "In that case, I would love a couple of poached eggs, please,"
> Mary mused.
>
> After confirming the order, Mary signed in and went up to her room
> for the night.
>
> The night passed uneventfully and the next morning Mary came down
> early to check out. The same guy was still on the desk.
>
> "Morning madam...sleep well?"
>
> "Yes, thank you," Mary replied.
>
> "Food to your liking?"
>
> "Well, I have to say the cauliflower cheese was exceptional, I don't
> think I have had better. Shame about the eggs, though....they really
> weren't that nice at all," replied Mary truthfully.
>
> "Oh...well, perhaps you could contribute these thoughts to our Guest
> Comments Book. We are always looking to improve our service and
> would value your opinion," said the receptionist.
>
> "OK, I will...thanks!" replied Mary....who checked out, then scribbled
> a comment into the book. Waving, she left to continue her journey.
>
> Curious, the receptionist picked up the book to see the comment Mary
> had written.
>
>
> "Supercauliflowercheesebuteggswerequiteatrocious!"
