Never, never

Sitting here in Hampton Inn in OKC waiting for the family to wake up, I am remembering that I vowed never stay at a Hampton Inn ever again. You see, a few years ago at a Hampton Inn in Shreveport one of their cleaning staff stole my bride's wedding ring. So, starting now I will never again stay at a Hampton Inn. I won't forget this time.

Anyway, it reminded me of some other folks who forgot to "never say never."
