Open the door, Richard…..

yep

What is the number of your hotel room?

To quote George Goebel (sp?) “Ever feel like life is a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?”

Or at the bar she handed you her AARP card as she said Room 405 after midnight.

I feel like I was never allowed into the lobby.

??????????

I was at convention in Denver five or six years ago. While I was attending convention the hotel changed the locks on all the doors. I came back, the door looked different, the card wouldn’t work. I wondered if I was crazy until I went down and front desk explained what had happened and gave me a new card.

But they said a number of guests who had been drinking were having real problems with the lock changes.

the unwanted side dish on the buffet of life?

The only sober person in a world of drunks.

not really, but I have felt like life was a beach and I was a ginger like my brother. js

I feel like a pair of brown brogues in the tuxedo of life. (apologies to George Gobel)

George Gobel once cracked up Johnny Carson by asking, “Did you ever get the feeling that the world is a tuxedo and you’re a pair of brown shoes?”

Or like the late George Gobel once said, “You ever feel like the world is a tuxedo, and you’re a pair of brown wing-tips”?

better than feeling like a hotel bed
