In Memphis Part Three

On day three, Parker had a lunch date with the Director of Rooms of the Peabody Hotel (which I though was odd enough), and afterwards had a tickle throw down on Parker's gianormously proportioned bed (see part one). When Parker told me about this, he first assured me that he kicked the director's butt ("tickled him till he wet his pants" to use his exact words), and then proceeded to report that in Memphis all of the business executives find trivial and meaningless ways to fill their days. He further postulated that in Memphis, the important people might be getting paid too much to do too little. I promised him that this sort of thing was not anomalous to Memphis.
