	A few years ago, I had an odd one happen to me.	  I was
staying at a large reputable hotel in a north-eastern city.  After
meetings finished, I was talking to an associate and we headed back
to our rooms.  We got off the elevator, and he went to his room and 
I to mine.  I opened the door and went in.  At that moment, I
remembered that our rooms were on different floors.  My key, for
room 510 (or whatever it was) worked on room 710.  Fortunately, there 
was no one in the room and I able to leave quietly.
	Has anyone else had this happen?  Hopefully this was a coincidence
and not hotel policy.
