When I was in London several months ago, I was staying in a hotel that is well known for its great service. Anyway, we got back from the theater one night at around 12:30 AM, and we decided to call for a little tea and apple pie. So anyay, we phoned down for it, and an hour passed and it still had not come. I phoned down again and asked when the apple pie might be here. The response was: "Oh, we beg your pardon sir, it's just leaving the kitchen now. It should be up to your room momentarily." To that, I asked, "But I ordered it an hour ago. What took so long? What were you doing, baking it?" "Yes, sir." I put the phone down. ---- Gabe Wiener -- Columbia University -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
