The Hotel Bill . ( humour )

The 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.

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 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."

"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."

Primary school children all over the UK were shown this picture and asked the same question.

90% of them gave this answer:

"The bus is travelling to the right."

When asked, "Why do you think the bus is travelling to the right?"

They answered:

"Because you can't see the door to get on the bus."

How do you feel now???

I know, me too.

A bargain, £1.

Whilst Hazel and I were out on our usual trip to the surrounding countryside, and driving through a small village, not far from Lanark, we noticed the sign. Car Boot Sale, Coffee and Tea.

It was mid afternoon and it did not take us long to discover that we had arrived at the tail end of the sale, about half a dozen cars were left, we strolled around and looked at the, frankly, junk on sale.

"Everything a £1" he said.

A young couple sitting in the boot of their car with their sales table scattered with odds and ends in front of them. I walked over for a closer inspection of their wares, " No thanks", I said.

"How about this" he said, offering a Yamaha portasoundPSS-140, an electric organ. "Does it work?" I asked. "Listen to this", he said.

The young lady came to the table and she bent over the organ, selected from the "voice bank" and entered the number, selected and pressed a button from the rhythm choices, switched on the auto accomp and synchronised start.

Her fingers fairly danced over the keyboard and serenity crossed the face of her companion, eventually she finished, he looked at me, "Wasn't that wonderful?", he asked.

"I didn't hear anything", I said, "there is no electricity, it's not plugged in".

"But I remember it from when she played it at home", he said.

Of course I bought it. Some ones junk is another persons treasure.
