When Alex Jones arrived at JFK International Airport, she

looked around, but she didn’t see anybody there to meet her. A lot
of people were holding cards with names on them, but they were
not waiting for her. She didn’t know what to do, but it was a
beautiful, sunny day, so she decided to go to the hotel on her own.
She went outside and looked for a taxi. A lot of people were
waiting, so she caught the airport bus into New York. The bus
stopped in Manhattan, quite near the hotel, and she
got off. She walked into the hotel and gave her name, Alexandra
Jones. She was talking to the receptionist when suddenly a man
ran up to her. He was carrying a card which read 'Mr Jones'.

'Ms Jones? l'm terribly sorry! I was waiting for you at the airport, but I thought you were a man!'

That's OK,' said Alex. It happens to me all the time!'
