>>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."
