Room service is indeed on the house, the mini bar refills itself, of course, and thou shall never never ever do the dishes again. The ruby slippers are yours and truly yours, and of course yours to keep.You can sleep in as long as you feel like tomorrow. Questions? Well, send a thought or two to Saint Peter, over there chillin' by the pool. He will assist you in a nano second. Tataaa! Ooh, by the way, are you still wondering about that thing with the chicken or the egg...?"
