Next time you think your hotel bill is too high...you
might want to use this logic.......
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 checked 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 right," says the man. "I charged you $300 for
sleeping with my wife."
"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.
"Well," the man replies, "she was here......and you
could have."
