unexpected joke::I caught the flu in Madrid on a recent business trip.

Whilst sniffling and coughing and rolling around in the hotel bed, I realised I needed medical attention, so I called the concierge to get help.

"Oh, so you're sick!" came the reply. "Not a problem, we'll send our very own hotel doctor up to your room right away!"

The doctor strolled into the room within seconds, and whilst I stuttered and tried to comprehend the situation, he gave me some medicine to ease the symptoms. When I finally stammered out "h...how does the hotel have their own doctor on call? I’m amazed you got here so quickly…",he simply shook his head and cracked a smile, and replied:

"Nobody expects the Spanish inn physician."
