Hotel Bill
> Next time you think your hotel bill is too high you might want to
> consider this...
> A husband and wife are traveling by car from Key West to Boston.
> After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they're too tired to
> continue, and they decide to stop for a rest. They stop at a nice
hotel
> and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four hours and then
> get back on the road.
> When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a
bill
> for $350.00.
> The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high.
> He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly
> aren't worth $350.00.
> When the clerk tells him $350.00 is the standard rate, the man
insists
> on speaking to the Manager.
> The Manager appears, listens to the man, and then explains that the
> hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that
were
> available for the husband and wife to use.
> "But we didn't use them," the man complains.
> "Well, they are here, and you could have," explains the Manager.
> He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for
> Which the hotel is famous. "The best entertainers from New York,
> Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says.
> "But we didn't go to any of those shows, "complains the man again.
> Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replies.
> No matter what facility the Manager mentions, the man replies, "But
we
> didn't use it! "
>
> The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to
> pay.
> He writes a check and gives it to the Manager.
> The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check.  "But sir," he
> says, this check is only made out for $50.00."
> "That's correct," says the man. "I charged you $300.00 for sleeping
> with my wife."
> "But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.
> "Well, too bad," the man replies. "She was here and you could have "
