    Default History Buff

    As a history buff, I was looking forward to staying in a hotel in
    Salisbury, England. This hotel dated back to the 13th century.

    When I arrived, the hotel clerk gave me some bad news -- my room was
    in the new section.

    Disappointed, I asked when the "new" section had been built.

    "In the 1600's," she replied apologetically.

    The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

    I had a similar experience in Germany - in a substantially remodelled hotel.

    I asked the innkeeper if it was a new building. She replied, "Yes, it's only 300 years old."

    Cheers,
    Joe
