Well               I know you have a reputation but the way you dress
had nothing to do with it.

I haven't the faintest Idea. I stopped in at one to ask about a camera
and neither  person in the booth could understand more than every
third word that I said. I was going to bow and say fuck you very much,
but I thought they might sprinkle me with lead particles or
something.

I was at the food place at the back of the hall and some guy there had
ordered coffee. They took his money and he's standing there waiting
for a cup. Nobody gives him a cup. So he asks for a cup. No response.
He asks for a cup again. No response. They're busy making sandwiches
or whatever and talking among themselves while we wait on line. He
keeps asking for a cup about 4, 5 times .... finally I said to
him ...... in a really loud voice OHHHHHhhhhh You wanted a CUP with
that coffee?? We both cracked up. They finally got the point. For me
it was $9.00 for two small cups of coffee and a stale danish.
