Peoria

I was on my first trip to Peoria.  I woke up and was getting ready to leave to come back home.  I was in the process of getting cleaned up and ready to leave the hotel.  At one point, I have used the toilet and it overflowed.  Not a big mess, but there was lots of water in the floor.  I used towels to contain the water to the bathroom and mop up the water.  I thought I did a pretty good job of cleaning the place up and continued to get ready.  While I was shaving, the phone rang.  I answered and it was the front desk.  The lady said, “Mr. Wheeler, are you having problems with water in your room?”  I said yes but I thought that I had contained it.  She said, “Well, the water is leaking through to the room below and the electrical room is right below yours.”  I assured her that I had gotten the water up and that it wasn’t still running.  This seemed to be enough to ease her concerns and she let me go.  I went back to finish shaving and getting ready.  A couple of minutes later, the phone rang again.  It was the front desk again.  The lady said, “Mr. Wheeler, I’m going to come up there and check on the room.”  I said, “Look, I am naked.  Give me 5 minutes and I’ll be dressed and out of here.”  They let me clear out of the room before they came in.  I never heard anymore from the hotel.  And I never stayed there again.
