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 amenity 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.
