Travelling Dish Washers

Commuting dishwashers should not travel "upper class". That's a well known rule.



"Stiff-lip-upper-class" may conditionally travel "upper class", but not common dishwashers.

An experienced "silver fox" know that the price difference between "upper class" travel and "lower class" travel is minimal. So when the going get's tough, he knows what to do.

If he was Russian "upper class", flashing blue lights and a barking noise would make his way. That's how it is in most African and other third world developing countries.

Our friend is not a "VIP" Russian or an African King (small kind of king) and he fears not making his flight and make an upgrade to "upper class".

Every day the sun rises. Every day the sun sets. Every day the SAS flight take off from Moscow at 15:50 hrs. If you're late, it's too bad. If you make it, you're on. Easy as that!

Does it make any difference which class you are flying? Probably not - not for most of us and some will of course always make it with the right type of card.

If we had a Fire Alarm



If I were a swan, I'd be gone. If I were a train, I'd be late.
If we had a fire alarm...


Dear Guests,

The Hotel will test our fire alarm system. We have decided to close the Hotel for this important event. No guests will be present at the time of the testing. Any employees that by accident are in the building should stay calm and if possible continue their work at their work desks or wherever they are and avoid falling over from laughter. The fire alarm testing department will not tolerate any jokes regarding stupid announcements and silly music between each stupid announcement. We would like to remind you that the fire alarm testing procedure has been approved by our CEO in Order no: 232/2009 on June 2nd 2009. This is official policy until a new and quite different policy has been approved. Please note that the fire alarm testing procedure is classified as "strictly confidential".

Best regards

Head of Administration of Fire Alarm Testing and Silly PA Announcements

Our goal is to run fire alarm tests so smoothly that it's not recognized by anyone.

If I were asleep, I could dream. If I were afraid, I could hide.

In order to protect the security of our Hotel Development, it's decided to post the fire evacuation plans on the back of the doors of each electronic safe and not on the doors to each hotel room. As you should know, these evacuation plans are nearly secret.

If I go insane, please don't put wires in my brain.





If I were the moon, I'd be cool. If I were a rule, I would bend.

On a Mission


Guess what - Teriberka is not the place for our new Resort and SPA. There must be plenty of better locations.

On our recent mission to Borneo we investigated several opportunities.



It's not hard to conclude. The local work force is smiling and service minded. The ThetaPhi chromosome - also called the bureaucracy gene - is absent. This is the place for our New Hotel Development. One downside is very long commuting, but I'm convinced everyone will work to find flexible solutions.



Cultures are very different and for some life is much more than work. Gold can be bought at too high a price as can success.

If you didn't know, hotel workers are poorly paid and badly treated.

Commuting hotel workers depart all the time. Each time they say goodbye to their loved ones, they look forward to coming back. At the same time they look forward to see their friends and co-workers.

I know this because I'm a commuting dishwasher.

Remember the night man at Hotel California?; "You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!"

That's guests and not workers. Workers can leave with a fortnights notice!!

Leaving for what?

Maybe this................
