Its probably of the bodies we left at the motels. We buried them in the ice machine.

Oooooh, I WISH I’d have thought of it, but the 14-16 hour days had already eaten my brain by that point you see?

If your hotel doesn’t have sufficient towel hanging racks (at least equal to the stated maximum occupancy of the room, get to work installing them. Do not insult my intelligence with one of those “keep your towels for the duration of your stay” programs until you have done this, because I will recognize it as a cynical attempt to penny-pinch your cleaning costs rather than a legitimate attempt to offer customer choice.

re: people hanging out chatting in the hall.

Put one of [these](http://www.amazon.com/Original-Fart-Machine-Remote/dp/B0006L1ILI) in your pocket and palm the remote. Step into the hallway and hit the button. Mumble something about damn burritoes and go back inside.

No one will stick around long enough to find out it was a hollow threat.
