A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visit on his vacation. He
wrote: "I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well
behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?" An
immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who said, "I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware, or pictures off the
walls. I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And
I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if
your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too."

idea who I am?" Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled and grabbed her public address

KEEPING SECRETS
At a dinner party, several of the guests were arguing whether men or women were more
trustworthy. "No woman," said one man, scornfully, "can keep a secret." "I don't know about
that," huffily answered a woman guest. "I have kept my age a secret since I was twenty-one."
"You'll let it out some day," the man insisted. "I hardly think so!" responded the lady. "When a
woman has kept a secret for twenty-seven years, she can keep it forever."
