Okay then:

While they waited for Steve to come back, Joe and Fred played go fish while listening to the rain pour down on the Winnebago.

"Got any kings," asked Joe.

"Yup," said Fred.

Fred gave Joe a king and Joe placed his match on the ground just as Steve came in.

"Alright," said Steve, "the good news is I got the last room. The bad news is there's only one bed."

"Oh," said Joe.

"So," said Steve, "I think what we'll do is this: One of us will stay here in the Winnebago while the other two of us sleep in the room."

"And I have an idea for how we could decide," said Joe.

He then pulled three quarters out of his pocket.

"Whoever gets "tails" stays," said Joe as he handed Steve and Fred a quarter, "Alright, flip!"

The trio flipped their quarters and called what side they got.

"Heads," said Steve.

"Heads," said Joe.

"Tails," said Fred.

"Well, then," said Joe, "looks like you're staying."

"So I am," said Fred.

Steve and Joe got their luggage and went into the motel and to their room, and right away, they noticed all kinds of things wrong. Both noticed a bucket next to the bed, which was catching dripping water.

"Wow," said Joe.

Steve then went into the bathroom, and came back out a few minutes later.

"Phew," said Steve, "that bathroom smells like something died in there. Also, the toilet doesn't flush, there's no shower curtian, and the water that comes out of the faucet is a filthy brown!"

There was worse to come. When Joe pulled back the blanket, he noticed a large patch of duct tape. It was obvious what that was covering.

"Sheesh," said Joe, "talk about improper maintenence."

"Let's see if there's something good on TV," said Steve.

Steve picked up the remote, turned on the TV, and tried to find a good show, but all he got was static on all the good channels. The only channel that actually worked was that one channel that showed nothing but Supreme Court stuff. Naturally, Joe disdainfully turned the TV off.

"Man," said Steve, "not only is room service terrible, so is TV service."

"Thank God we only have to stay in this room for one night," said Joe.

"Amen to that," said Steve.
