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."
good one, Trev...
