Lost and Found
Hello? Lost and Found? Yeah, I'm calling because I think I lost something expensive at your hotel. Has anyone turned in something expensive?
Sure, I can describe it. The thing I lost was a … computer. Anyone turn in a laptop? No? Shoot, I must have lost that at another hotel. I stay at a lot of hotels. I’m an important business guy, and I lose stuff, because I get distracted by important business deals. I’m sure you understand.
What I lost at your hotel was a … wallet. No wait! It was a watch. Has anyone turned in a watch there? They have? Great!
Uh, yeah sure, I can be more detailed. It has a face and a wristband and numbers. It’s a man’s watch, but some people could think it was a woman’s watch, because it could look slender to some people. Although, others could think it looked very big and masculine. Color? Well, it’s kind of gold-ish platinum. In some light it looks gold, sometimes platinum.
It’s very sentimental to me, because it was my father-in-law’s. It might have an engraving on the back. At the same time, you might not be able to see the engraving, because it could be worn off. Oh, you can see an engraving? M.W.L.? Yes, those were my pappy-in-law’s initials. Milton Walter … La … La … Lobster. Yup, I know, weird last name. We called him Pappy Lobster. I loved him so much, and it was his dying wish that I get his watch from the war. That one war.
You found it? Terrific! I’ll be right over. As soon as the bus comes. Which hotel is this, by the way? I forgot.
