Sometimes a person cannot say what's on his mind. The words just
won't come. Or at least, not the right ones. For example .... The
following supposedly was nominated "best e-mail of 1997" ( By whom?
Who has the time for that?). A telephonic exchange between a hotel
guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and
published in the Far East Economic Review...
Room Service: "Morny. Ruin sorbees."
Guest: "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."
Room Service : "Rye..Ruin sorbees..morny! Djewish to odor sunteen??"
