I always have this moment, when I haven't seen them since check-in and they didn't show for breakfast and now it's past check-out time...what if they're dead in there?
It's morbid, I know but who knows what goes on behind those doors, you could be opening the door to a murder-suicide scene for all we know!!!.
That's hilarious! Ok. This prompts me to share a story from a fellow innkeeper and neighbor (no longer in business - she's writing her novel!) -
Jane (not her real name!) called me one day and shrieked, "You'll never believe what I just found in my Master Suite!! I opened the bottom drawer of the armoire to find:
Five bullets and a black lacey undergarment !!"
OMG, says I, WHERE'S THE SIXTH BULLET??
