Across Sea And Land

(I work in a hotel.)

Guest: “Can I store some things in your freezer?”

Me: “We do have some space, not a lot, but we can fit a few things.”

(We don’t even have a real kitchen since we only do a continental breakfast.)

Guest: “Can you fit twenty pounds of seafood in there?”

Me: “Twenty pounds?! I’m sorry but we don’t have that much room.”

Guest: “Oh, oh, well. It’ll just have to stay in the cooler with the dry ice.”

(I still am not sure why he was traveling from Wisconsin to Washington State with twenty pounds of frozen seafood in his pickup but I really didn’t want to ask.)
