Oct 2012

I've stayed in hundreds (or thousands?) of hotels over many years.

I used to always give the Bible a thumb through...not always but many times, all sorts of things written
inside, stuffed in notes (some just psycho about religion), etc.

After reading a story years ago, about hiding phone numbers for prostitutes in the room Bibles, I started looking.

And NO, not to utilize any services!!!
