I recently had a meeting in Paris. So, I brought my wife and we bracketed the short stay at the mediocre meeting hotel with short stays at two very nice Paris hotels.

In the waiting area before boarding our return flight, my wife and I got into a conversation with a somewhat older couple who had come to Paris to celebrate an important anniversary.

The woman asked where we had stayed, and I said, "Three different hotels."

She asked, "Which was the nicest?"

I said, "I can't say which was the nicest, but I do know which was the worst. It was the _____."

Of course, that was the hotel they had stayed in.
