first scream made me realize she had no intention of tucking me In or kissing me bye- byes No back rub no nothing get out Maybe you are wondering i where was during this confusion had checked out first thing Friday morning to return home to attend a funeral so when I got back to the hotel after my tour of duty I was alone for Friday night Saturday night home on Sunday but back for du ty on Labor Day Monday and then it was all over for another year This gal had a pair of lungs on her that were as good as any air raid siren in Baghdad Like a fool I tried to explain to her it was really my room There wasnt a shred of my clothing or bags to be seen She demanded I beat a has ty retreat and I did Adjoining hotel room doors were being opened by the curious to see if the place was on fire or

the funeral so meone as the desk had In advertently marked us as both checking out at the same time So when a young beauty checked in she was given my room My bags clothes and personal items were taken out before she was ushered in and just thrown aside like garbage in a pile The hotel scrambled to make amends Valet service made sure my suit was cleaned and pressed My shirts were sparkling
