Actual conversation with hotel front desk
I'm planning to drive a vehicle x-country. I couldn't find information if a certain hotel in Albuquerque, NM had free high speed internet or not. So I called them. Here is the actual conversation:
Me: Hello, do you have high speed internet in the rooms?
Front Desk Clerk: Yes, but you have to dial out.
Me: <stunned silence>
After clarifying that she meant you can connect your computer to the telephone and use a dial-up modem, I said "thank you" and hung up.
