    a 2 fer

    Cattle poopFirst one is short, and quite...well comical. I will never cease to be amazed on what people ask me. Checking a guest in.

    SC: So, why does it smell like cattle and manure outside?
    Me: *gave him crazy look* ???? uh... *shrug*
    SC: ...
    Me: ... Well, it's Montana..so...
    SC: I don't know what that means. This is my first time here. I am from Texas.
    Me: Well, there could be various smells outside....The refineries, the bakeries...we also have a large livestock auction yard in this area....???
    SC: ... So there is a truck with cows in it outside?
    Me: *shrug* I have no idea. Perhaps. It's not a common smell in this area but....
    SC: Huh, well that MUST be it.

    Riiiiight, well that damn cattle poop smell be damned! It really didn't smell like what he thought, outside.

    Clever Prank?
    Okay this one is an outside call coming into the hotel. I have been having an extreme amount of prank calls lately and it's getting old. This was couldn't have been a more obvious prank...

    Me: *answers phone*
    SC: Hi (guy trying to sound sexy?). I was wondering about your rates.
    Me: Okay, when would you be coming in?
    SC: The 28th (the voice persists during call)
    Me: Okay, let me see what we have available...
    SC: There will be 4 of us.
    Me: Okay, so just the 28th?
    SC: We are coming in for a bachelorette party for a gal... Two nights.
    Me: Okay, two nights...*interrupts*
    SC: We are here for her entertainment...
    Me: ... okay...
    SC: Have you ever heard of the Chip N Dales dancers?
    Me: Uh...yep.
    SC: We are with the Chip N Dales dancers...if we stay we will give you a calander.
    Me: ...okay...
    SC: Well, thanks I will check with the other people...
    Me: Okay...
    *click*

    He never did get the price for the room...so clearly someone was trying to get a reaction out of me. Lame. Little embarasses me, I take it all like a grain of sand. If people are strippers, whatever I don't care. I am here to be professional at all times and nothing you say that you "do" will throw me, unless it's clearly a criminal act then you will get hung-up on.

    So....fun?

    He must have been from the DFW metro center, or possibly from the middle of Houston.... because everywhere else you go in Texas, there are cows. And hence cow byproducts. And hence cow smells. And rodeos with more cows. And livestock shows with more cows. And every spare bit of pasture between my house and the Austin airport is also filled with cows.

            Must be one of them "all hat, no cattle" Texans.

            We had a couple of chicken hotels on the far side of our high school's parking lot...

            Cow, horse, sheep, chickens... no problem. A lot nicer than diesel exhaust... but pig farms!. I'd come home from (Benson, UT at the time) a few weeks in the city with my friends and the first errand my mother would send me on would be to get 5-10 dozen eggs from the neighbors (3 miles away).

            (9 kids go through a lot of cackleberries)

            The 4 story chicken coop was no problem. Their adjacent hog farm? Having one's nose trying to instantly transform into a navel? Priceless!

                That is what I kinda wanted to laugh about...I part of my brain started laughing at that comment he made.

                Considering it's still perma-frost here & the great white north, having had snow on the ground for around 80 or so days in a row...I doubt people are dumping fertilizer just yet. But, to answer your question, no. But it's not like we are the only business here. We are surrounded.

                Also, we are by the main interstate that goes to the livestock yards as well. I mean, the odds of cattle passing by are high, but it's the WAY he came in & immediately asked that that made me wonder if there was anything I haven't been greeted with yet. lol
