Maine visitors foul up New York hotel with ducks
Two Maine travelers arrived at the Hotel Laurelton in New York with bags and a large box of ducks. They demanded a room with a large tub and bathroom but failed to lock the bathroom door, prompting an inspection by hotel staff and a health department warning. The ducks then splashed through the bath and caused a scene, leading to the women explaining they needed fresh eggs daily for their elder sister.
