ʻO Josh Billings ma nā Hotele
New Albany Weekly Ledger, New Albany, Indiana
Malaki 22, 1871:
ʻAʻole au i ʻike i kekahi ʻoihana ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi ma mua o ka ʻoihana hale kūʻai. Me he mea lā, ʻaʻohe mea e hana ai, ʻo ke kū ʻana i mua o ka papa inoa me ka peni ma hope o ka pepeiao, a ʻike i ke komo ʻana o nā malihini i loko o ka hale, a laila e haʻi iā John e hōʻike i ke keonimana i ka 976, a laila lawe i ʻehā kālā a he kanalima keneta i ke kakahiaka aʻe mai ka diabolo o ka huakaʻi, a hoʻokuʻu iā ia e hele.
Me he mea lā ʻo ia ka mea holoʻokoʻa (a ʻo ia ka mea holoʻokoʻa) i ka nui o nā hihia.
E ʻike ʻoe i ka wehewehe ʻana ma lalo nei he ʻeiwa mau hōkele ma waena o ka ʻumi ma waena o ka Moana ʻAkelanika a me ka Moana Pākīpika, ma waena o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma kahi laina pololei.
ʻO kou lumi he 13 kapuaʻi 5 ʻīniha, ma ka 9 kapuaʻi 7 ʻīniha, e like me ka parallelogramly. ʻO ia ka pule hoʻokolokolo (e like me ka mea maʻamau), hoʻohana ʻia nā lumi maikaʻi a pau e nā loio a me nā luna kānāwai.
Aia kou lumi ma ka papahele ʻoi loa.
Hoʻokomo ʻia ke kāpeti - i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka lepo, ka aila ʻaila, a me nā kiko inika o nā hanauna ʻehā.
ʻElua makia i loko o ka lumi e hoʻopaʻa ai i nā ʻaʻahu; ua haki kekahi, a ua huki kekahi a nalowale.
ʻEkolu mau wāwae a me hoʻokahi pōhaku lepo.
ʻO ke aniani ma luna o ke keʻena koli ma nā pivots ʻelua, ua nalowale ko lākou paʻa.
Hoʻokahi kāwele ma ka pā, lahilahi akā pulu.
Ua puka mai ka wai ua i loko o ka ipu wai.
ʻO ke kopa he mea paʻakikī ke komo e like me ka pōhaku ʻala. Ua ʻala ʻia ke kopa me ka ʻaila kinamona a ʻano like ʻole me nā kiko.
ʻEkolu noho, hoʻonoho ʻohe; he rocker hoʻokahi, a ua paʻa nā mea ʻekolu.
Aia kahi pāʻani palekana - nele.
ʻAʻohe pale i ka puka makani, a ʻaʻole makemake ʻia; ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i waho, a ʻo wai ka mea e ʻike i loko?
Ua wehe ʻia ke kaula bele ma kahi o ʻeono ʻīniha ma kēia ʻaoʻao o ke kaupaku.
ʻO ka moena kahi papa-lalo hou, me nā moena ʻelua - hoʻokahi pulupulu a me hoʻokahi ʻili, a ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī a ʻoi aku ka mānoanoa e like me ka keke kai.
Komo ʻoe i nā moena ma ka ʻaoʻao, a hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kēlā me kēia papa i ka manawa hoʻokahi e like me ʻoe i ka iwi ʻaoʻao o ka gridiron.
Noho ʻia ka moena.
Ke hiamoe nei ʻoe i kekahi, akā e ʻōwili i kahi hana maikaʻi.
No ka ʻaina kakahiaka he gong kāu, a ʻo Rio kofe ke anuanu ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe i ka pata; ʻuala palai, ʻo ia hoʻi nā ʻāpana i hana ʻia e ka auger ʻelua ʻīniha i kāna huakaʻi ma ka lāʻau ʻoka.
Berena, paa; pipi, e like me ka manoanoa e like me ka pulupulu, a paakiki e like me ka pepeiao o ka ilio. Ua uhi ʻia ka papaʻaina me nā pāpaʻi, he mau pīkī makaʻu a make ma kekahi o lākou, a ʻeono mau pahū ma luna o kekahi.
He pahu pewterinkum me ekolu omole iloko, hookahi me ka pepa ole o loko, hookahi me ka sinapi ole, a me kekahi me elua iniha o na nalo make a me ka vīnega maloko.
ʻO ke kaikamahine kauā, me nā puʻupuʻu, ke kau nei a puni ʻoe, a makemake ʻoe e ʻike makemake ʻoe i kahi kīʻaha kope ʻē aʻe.
ʻŌlelo ʻoe, "ʻAʻole, e ka wahine, mahalo wau iā ʻoe," a hoʻihoʻi i kou noho. ʻAʻole ʻoe i lawa i ka uku no ka ʻohi ʻana i kou mau niho.
ʻO ka mea kākau, ʻo Stanley Turkel, kahi mana i ʻike ʻia a kūkākūkā pū me ia i ka ʻoihana hōkele. Hoʻohana ʻo ia i kāna hōkele, hoʻokipa a me ka hana aʻoaʻo aʻoaʻo loea i ka hoʻokele waiwai, nā loiloi hana a me ka maikaʻi o nā ʻaelike franchise hotel a me nā kuleana kākoʻo litigation. ʻO nā mea kūʻai aku nā mea hōkele, nā mea hoʻopukapuka, a me nā ʻoihana hōʻaiʻē.

- There don't seem to be anything to do but to stand in front of the register with a pen behind the ear, and see that the guests enter the house, then tell John to show the gentleman to 976, and then take four dollars and fifty cents next morning from the devil of traveller, and let him went.
