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.
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.
When the clerk tells him $350 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 a re 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."
"That's correct," says the man. "I charged
you $300 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." :24:
