In A Butter Bother
(I am the customer. I have brought peanut butter and bread to a hotel room, but have not brought a knife. Looking around the room, I have found a ballpoint pen, and am intending to use it as a spreader. My cousin, who I am sharing the room with, asks:)
Cousin: “Are you sure that’s sanitary?”
Me: “I’ll check.”
(I call the front desk.)
Front Desk: “Hello?”
Me: “Hi. How sanitary are your pens?”
Front Desk: “What?”
Me: “The pens. The ballpoint pens. I’m seeing if I can use them as peanut butter spreaders.”
Front Desk: “I don’t know. Some people take them home, and some of them just come off a cart… We have butter knives!”
Me: “Are they complimentary?”
Front Desk: “Sure.”
Me: “Can you send them up?”
Front Desk: “Sure.”
(They did!)
