What Gerry, the office mate, told me today

'Yeah, I don't mind travelling except when it gets to be that you tend to leave the hotel bathroom lights on just so you know where the bathroom is. That's when you know you have been on the road too much.
Or...and this is a great story.
I had a colleague with whom I did many billing trips. See, the thing about Kirk Chips was that he slept completely naked. What can do you? That was his thing.
And we had been travelling from Paris to Berlin to South Africa. And were completely pooped by the time we reached S.A.
So one night, Kirk gets up to go to the bathroom. He goes to the door, opens it and steps in.
That's strange, why would they have the room number on the back of the bathroom door.
And of course, he is oustide in the hallfway, without his keys because.. he has no pockets.
And he is scampering around on tip toe, and sees a house phone and thankfully, somebody's left room service outside.
So he has this napkin which he's holding strategically and uses the phone to call somebody.
A hotel guy comes upstairs, perfect poker face, casual, opens Kirk's door.
"Good night, Mr. Chips."
"Good night"
And the funny thing about the story?
Well, he still hadn't got to pee. So whe he was waiting around for the hotel guy. There was a potted plant near the elevator.
"Gerry," he says, "Gerry, don't go anywhere near that plant."'
