Once upon a time, there was a guy named Carlos. Carlos decided to take a vacation. So he went into work and he told his boss, "I'm going to take a vacation." The boss asked him where he was going, and Carlos told him.

The boss replied, "That's one of my favorite places! Just don't stay at the Pink Flamingo Hotel." Carlos agreed, and then he went home to pack.

His girlfriend stopped by that day, and asked where he was packing to go. Carlos replied that he was going on vacation to whatever place he was going to, and his girlfriend was happy for him. She said, "Have a safe trip! Just don't stay that the Pink Flamingo Hotel."
Carlos was getting intrigued, and he asked her why not. She just replied, "DON'T." Then Carlos gathered his things and headed for the airport.

While at the airport, he realized he hadn't told anyone to pick up his mail. So he called his friend Jim and said, "Hey, Jim, I'm going on vacation! Could you get my mail this week?" Jim agreed, and asked where Carlos was going. When Carlos answered, Jim's response was predictable but baffling: "Have a great time. Just don't stay at the Pink Flamingo Hotel."

Carlos' flight was delayed and he got in around three in the morning. When he left the airport at his destination, he decided to stay at the closest place to him. Suddenly he saw a beautiful hotel. It looked expensive, but he was exhausted, so he checked in anyway. As he swiped his credit card, he noticed that the elaborate hotel stationary read Pink Flamingo Hotel. But the place was so beautiful that he went for it anyway.

Carlos had a great vacation! He got a nice tan, he met some girls, he tried out awesome food and went sight-seeing... and then he went home. On his first day back at work, his boss stopped by his office.

"Carlos! Hey! How was your vacation?" he asked.

"It was great!" Carlos replied. "And you'll never believe it, but the Pink Flamingo Hotel actually wasn't so bad!"

His boss' eyes narrowed. "You stayed there?" he demanded. At Carlos' nod, the boss FLIPPED. "Get out of this office right now," he ordered. "You're fired."

Bewildered, Carlos started to gather his stuff. When he got home, he called his girlfriend to come over. She asked him what was wrong, and Carlos said he was fired.

"Fired!? Why!?" she exclaimed.

"Well, because I told my boss I stayed at a hotel he didn't like," Carlos said, clearly still baffled by this.

The girlfriend's eyes narrowed. "It wasn't the Pink Flamingo, was it?" she asked.

"Actually, it was."

"WE'RE THROUGH!" his girlfriend screamed, already halfway to tears. Then she stormed out, taking her overnight bag with her.

That was disappointing.

Finally Carlos called Jim. "Listen, buddy, I have to tell you something," he said. "I think I did something bad but I don't know why. Can you tell me what's up with the Pink Flamingo Hotel?"

Jim sighed wearily. "Oh, Carlos, you didn't stay there, did you?" he asked. "Ugh."

Carlos freaked out. "Listen, Jim, just TELL me what's wrong with it!" he shouted. "No one will say anything and I'm freaking out and now I have no job and no girlfriendn and can you just TELL ME?!"

Jim sighed again. "Okay, meet me on a boat on the lake at midnight and I'll tell you what the problem was."
That night at midnight, Carlos and Jim met on a boat on the lake. Once they were in the middle of the dark, dark water, it started to rain. Carlos couldn't take it anymore. "Can you... you know, tell me?" he asked.

Jim sighed. "Okay," he said. "Carlos, the problem with the Pink Flamingo Hotel is..."

And then he got struck by lightning and died.
