Misery Demands Company, Part 3

(A guest approaches the check-in window at 5:30 a.m.)

Me: “Good morning! How are you?”

Guest: “My wife wants to use the bathroom. She’s in there now.”

Me: “Oh, alright, no problem! If there’s anything I can help you with, let me know.”

Guest: “Are you happy?”

Me: “Yes I am, sir! I’m always happy.”

Guest: “Well, you shouldn’t be! It’s too early! Stop smiling! Now!”
