didn't look that appetizing. I decided on another ploy to prove I could imagine something she couldn't serve me.

"I changed my mind. I'd like the finest steak possible, medium rare," I started. She put the cover back over the plate and lifted it to display the finest steak possible cooked medium rare to perfection! "I changed my mind again," I said. "I'd like that same steak, only rare this time." I was certain I had her, but she merely put the cover over the plate, lifted it, and presented the same steak cooked less than it had been only a matter of seconds earlier! However, I still had a trick up my sleeve that I knew was impossible for her!

"So that is the finest steak possible?," I asked.

"I would love to, but I'm trying to get to my room, so it is impossible that I will be back this way again," I told her regretting that it would be my last visit.

"This is infinity, sir," she said. "Nothing is impossible. However, if you cannot imagine it, it will not become reality."

As I rejoined the line of people trudging toward our rooms that do not exist yet, I kept thinking about the words the waitress told me. "Nothing is impossible. However, if you cannot imagine it, it will not become reality." I thought about the odd statement the man at the check-in desk made about it will take "longer than never - or not" to find my room.
