VACATION? A MUST READ…if you must! One winter, a big city, type-A personality, businessman decided he was well-overdue for a much needed vacation somewhere in a “get away from it all” type place. So, he found this ‘woodsy’, off-the-beaten-path, ‘real’ wilderness, back-to-nature, resort-motel listing on the Internet---which he booked. Well, with his bag packed for Wednesday-through-Saturday night package deal, he found his way there. Sure enough the place looked deserted and rustic---a real ‘lumberjack-type’ large cabin motel. He walked up to the place, stepped across the creaky wood porch, opened what looked like the front entrance door, and then proceeded to the lobby desk. He rang the desk bell. A little old man came from behind the office door and greeted him, had him sign the dusty registration book, and then promptly handed him a key to the room he had reserved. The business man asked the old man, “Say, this looks like a real restful place!” The old man smiled and replied, “Yep, it is. Hope you like it.” Well with that, the businessman found his room, unpacked, took a long restful nap ‘til the next morning. The next day, he arose, dressed, left his room later on in the afternoon, and found the motel manager sitting in an old rocking chair out on the front porch. The businessman approached the motel manager and asked, “Do you have any entertainment…way out here?” The motel manager responded slowly, “Yep.” “Well, what exactly is it?” the businessman inquired. The motel manager responded, “Well, we have a real delightful, first-rate animal act including Olympic-style figure skating, dancing, etc., around 7 PM to 9 PM on Saturday nights down by the big, frozen lake.” With that last comment, the businessman thought he’d better drop the subject and quietly excused himself and returned to his room. Early that evening, after supper, and just as the businessman was retiring for bed, he heard noises from outside the motel. He raised his motel room window, and it appeared that the sounds he heard seemed to be emanating down past the woods toward the lake. Curiosity got the best of him. So, the businessman quickly dressed, took a flashlight with him, and walked down to the lake. When he got there and shined the light on the lake area, he saw all sort of animals on ice skates (deer, elk, moose, foxes, wolves, skunks, rabbits, bears, badgers, etc.) ---but they were all slipping, sliding, tumbling, and falling all over each other on the ice. With that, the businessman marched back up to the motel, rang the bell for the motel manager. The businessman said, “I heard the noise, walked down to the lake, and I saw animals just stumbling and falling all over each other! It was disgusting.” With that the motel manager replied back, “Oh, no wonder. Tonight is Amateur Night.”
