When I was in London several months ago, I was staying in a hotel that is
well known for its great service. Anyway, we got back from the theater one
night at around 12:30 AM, and we decided to call for a little tea and apple
pie. So anyay, we phoned down for it, and an hour passed and it still had
not come.

I phoned down again and asked when the apple pie might be here. The response
was:

"Oh, we beg your pardon sir, it's just leaving the kitchen now. It should be
up to your room momentarily."

To that, I asked, "But I ordered it an hour ago. What took so long? What
were you doing, baking it?"

"Yes, sir."

I put the phone down.
