a personal relationship with Jesus the Norfolk Marriott Waterside
I received an automated email today from a hotel at which I have made a reservation. The email says:
Maybe they should just keep the hotel nice for everyone who visits.
Your reservation at the Norfolk Marriott Waterside begins soon. We're excited you'll be visiting and are preparing for your stay.Isn't that a little creepy? Have they been reading my blog? Do they know that my favorite color is "celery," that I only eat dark chocolate, and that I will only have sex with men with mustaches?
Maybe they should just keep the hotel nice for everyone who visits.

While one's holiday travel plans may involve a VISIT "beginning soon", the RESERVATION should be "immediate", shouldn't it? I mean, isn't the purpose of reserving something to give notice of a desire to have it available for your use IN THE FUTURE; not right this very minute? When we want a table at a fancy restaurant, or tickets to a popular Broadway show during Christmastime, isn't what we do next referred to as "calling ahead" rather than "calling dibs"?
I think the moron who sent that e-mail should be forced to spend his or her holiday season trying out the following little experiment, over and over until the point is understood, in a crowded airport:
1) Barrel your way over to the baggage carousel;
2) Grab your overnighter, knocking some guy's wife over or smacking his kid in the head in the process;
3) Spot the guy in a dark suit holding up a sign bearing someone else's surname;
4) Finally, run over to that guy screaming, at the top of your lungs, "I got shotgun!".
I can guarantee that not only would our annoying e-mailer NOT wind up sitting next to the chauffeur or anywhere else in a Lincoln Town Car, but he or she would probably be taken down by a guy who would have Brian Urlacher whimpering for his mommy. Except even bigger than Brian Dziura. If there were anything funny about that at all, I suppose the punchline would go something like, "Elmo thinks it tickles."
Fill in the blanks yourself.
