The wife and I went to Mumbai and stayed in a cheap hotel. The place was an absolute pit: filthy, thick with flies and absolutely pungent. The owner led us through the grimy, cockroach infested corridors to our room and just when we thought it couldn't get any worse he opened the door to reveal two huge cows just sitting there inside the hotel the room! "I hope you don't mind having a couple of roommates for the night," the owner said. "They are actually very clean but if you don't want them here I can put them in the yard." "You can't be serious!" I said. "Of course we don't want them in our room!" "Sorry, sir," said the owner. "I wasn't talking to you."
