ROTFL, Mere! I loved the whole part about how Lois got herself blacklisted. That's just like her to be rude, destroy equipment, and not give tips to the hotel staff.
I guess she'll save her explosion for losing the story to Jimmy and Cat for later, since she's a tad busy.
P.S. Just a very minor detail: wouldn't Perry have called Cat, Catherine, for the purposes of making reservations?
