Customer: How is the newly opened Spa?
Hair dresser: Other customers said the water was cold.
this is so true! when i first moved to the USA, a librarian in austin texas was so incredibly helpful to me in sorting out/understanding the "i've just moved to the USA" process. i knew not even a handful of people and she was so selfless and generous in her efforts to help me navigate pre-web then-INS and TX state bureaucracy as a 0day new person here.
