This is a forward I received a long time ago. Instead of passing it forward, I'm just going to post it here! It's pretty old, you'll see that when you read it. Some of you have seen it already, but I bet it's been a while, and hopefully you'll enjoy it again! So, without further ado, represented verbatim, Asian Room Service.
Be warned, you're going to find yourself talking "funny" for a while
after reading this. It was nominated best email of 1997. A telephonic
exchange between a hotel guest and roomservice, at a hotel in Asia,
which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review.....
