Articulacy???

Whilst I do not claim any credit for the following it reminds me of many call centres that have phoned me over the years. If just one person has never heard of this alleged story then it was worth posting...It often enters my thoughts.

The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia , which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review (huh, allergically [can't spell the other))
