i don't know what more you can expect from a room service person. our ppl aren't any better. that's a bad comparison.
Come genius, in which part of India can you expect such "service"?
And as for the bad comparison thing, do remember that the piece is on the lighter side.
I still don't get it. What are "Tenjewberrymuds."
Arrrgh! Thank you very much!
