Travel Agent

I'm just a regular guy and I went to my travel agent to book a cruise. She asked how much I wanted to spend. I gave her a dollar amount and she said, "If that's all you want to spend, I suggest you go home and watch the Travel Channel."

No eMails
No long procedures
No house calls
No "There there's" 
No pats on the back

His name was Dr. Dolittle
