I found a Playboy in the hotel drawer once. That was MUCH better than religious dogma any day. 
Sorry, I swiped that one.
I opened a drawer in a hotel room nightstand and there was nothing there.
So the agnostic literature is something like a Schroedinger’s drawer?
“All acts of love are acts of worship.” 
If I had my pick, I’d prefer them to leave Bullfinch’s Mythology.
Missed this one earlier. Yep! This is the exact version that was in my room.
He’s funnin’ ya because you said it was Be Me Guest.

My last stay in a Hilton turned up not only a Gideon Bible, but also Conrad Hilton’s autobiography, Be Me Guest.

As a person who’s worked almost his whole life in hotels, I can tell you they don’t want you to take it, but they aren’t unhappy when you do.
The whole point of this is to get you INTERESTED. So the religious groups figure, if you take it and read it at your home, it’s a very cheap investment.
It’s like matches or anything else, it’s there for you use in the room. But if you take them when you leave no one really minds, why? 'Cause the matches are cheap advertising as well.
So religious groups don’t want you to take it if you’re going to throw it out, but if you’re going to use the book to study and show further interest, they wouldn’t mind at all. They also realize if you do take it and like their cause you’ll probably be making a dontion to them in the near future.
That “it came to pass” phrase, repeated so many times, is what turned me off to
reading The Book of Mormon. It seemed so obvious that someone had been trying to copy the language of the King James version of the Bible.
You should ask the young women who prowl the grounds, but I don’t know if they’ll give you a free Book of Mormon on the spot. Not because the books are expensive or that Mormons don’t love giving away Books of Mormon, but they prefer to get you involved with the missionaries before giving you the free book.
They’ll want to get your home address in SC and send the missionaries to visit you after you get back from vacation. Those guys will “deliver” your free Book of Mormon along with an “inspiring” message about “families.” Unless you want these guys showing up and bothering you, DO NOT WRITE DOWN YOUR ADDRESS ON THE CARD.
If you insist (and don’t give them your address) then they may relent and give you a copy.
–Signed, the guy who used to bother people who wrote down their address.
They’re basically the same as the pizza menus. For all legal purposes, they’re yours to do with as you see fit.
I have a Hari Krishna version of the Bhagavad-Gita I once found in a motel room (in New York City, I think)
