Preposterous Requests - Part 2

Hi Guys,
This is in continuation of my post dated 22 July 05. Following are some more outlandish requests we all may have faced/may have to face during our service :
1. I propose to go outstation in a hired car - ask the operator not to mention this on the bills (ie bills should be for travel within the city)
2. I am coming on official duty and my wife is accompanying me - ask the 5 star hotel not to charge me extra bed charges for the spouse. ( and she should get all the freebies I am getting - after all I am a frequent visitor!!)
3. Ask the hotel people not to reflect my liquor consumption (which is substantial) in the bill.
4. Arrange for maximum discount possible on air tickets for travel of my family (use your charm man !!)
5. You guys get items from CSD at dirt cheap rates- isnt it ?? Well please get me `this and that' will you (these start as requests and end up as commands `` get a bottle of jam for my house fast'' )
6. I am throwing a party at my house - can you please arrange 12 bottles of Scotch from your liquor quota. (once obliged and then you can kiss goodbye to your quota forever)
7. You are a member of the Services Institute - arent you ?? Well please take my guests as YOUR guests and let them enjoy the hospitality.
8. Please escort my wife/family to the market for shopping (you may chit chat with the driver while you wait for them - of course )
More next time.
Food for thought `` The exhilaration one feels while jumping into water of unknown temperature is only matched by the agony of finding it too cold and shallow ''
