If you're going on holiday, and you plan on staying in a hotel...Never
pack a white towel...
The hotel chambermaid invariably assumes it belongs to the hotel and
takes it away with the dirty linnen...Never to be seen again....
Any attempt to convince the hotel manager that this has happened will
prove futile....
And if you are a non-Italian speaker, staying in a hotel in Italy,
halfway between Portogruaro and Pordenone, in 1999....Take it from me,
that it becomes a million times harder to convince the hotel manager....

Oh, that's priceless. You knew where your towel was, then? It just wasn't
in the right place.

The town in question was Villotta....
But the hotel was Tremendous....As I was their first Irish guest, and I
was staying for 2 months before moving to Sesto Al Reghina, the manager
went out and stocked the bar up with Guinness....What a nice
chap....Highly reccomended if you're ever in the area....

Steal three of their towels for every one you had taken.
Claim ignorance when challenged.

LOL, No....But there was a tremendous Hyper-mega-super-duper-market just
down the road at Portogruaro that sold new ones pretty cheap....

Fat Sam <janetandsam [at] beeteeinternet.co.uk> hit the keyboard.
Afterwards the following was on the screen:

"Always remember to bring a towel. You wanna get high?"

Not good. It could have been a specially crafted towel or
something...

The year taken into consideration, it will probably not happen to
me. Unless I get into some accident with a time machine and pork
stew...

bedroom!
