UP AGAINST THE WALL

A tourist travelling through Italy tells his story:

Travelling with a party in Brindisi in Italy, after checking into our hotel, we met initially in one of the rooms to quaff a few beers before venturing out into town.

An hour or so later, I left the party to take the lift to my room and get changed.

After entering the lift, and pressing my floor number, I was surprised when the lift suddenly stopped descending, and I was left facing closed doors.

I had a little chuckle to myself initially, then, realising my predicament, I did the first thing that came into my head. I prised open the doors.

There, behind the doors, was a brick wall. A few seconds passed whilst I scratched my head and considered how foolish I was going to look when the rest of the guys found out that I was stuck in the lift.

I tried, as a last resort, to press the button for the floor I had just left. Hearing a noise behind me I turned around to see a second set of doors closing on a foyer full of amused hotel clientele.
