A furious pounding in a hotel room in the middle of the night
awakened a number of guests. The hotel manager went to the room,
and when his knocks went unanswered, he let himself in.
He found an elderly man cursing and banging on the wall with both
fists.
"Stop that immediately, sir!" the manager ordered.
"You're disturbing everyone in the hotel."
"Damn the hotel and everyone in it!" the elderly man hollered.
"It's the first hard on I've had in years and both my hands are
asleep."
