The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review about 15 years ago. It made the rounds of the intranet at my company then, but fell out of favor. Then today, I ran across it in my archives and had to post it...

Guest : "Sorry, I thought I dialled room-service."
