 PLOT: The hotels vintage telephone switchboard adds an element of  comic chaos, but it is not consistently used. Ted answers calls to  the front desk by pushing cables into jacks, but Sarah (the little  girl in "The Misbehavers") is able to dial another room directly.  Also, when the partying guys call and dont know what room they are  in, Ted should be able to get the room number right off the  switchboard.
