A husband and wife are travelling by car from Key West
to Boston. After almost 24 hrs on the road , they are
too tired to continue and 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 then get back on the road. When they check out four hours later,
the desk clerk hands them over a bill for $350.
The man explodes and demands to know why
the charge is so high. He tells the clerk that
although it's a nice hotel,
the rooms certainly weren't worth the $350 rate.
When the clerk tells him $350 is the standard
rate, the man insists on speaking to the manager.
The manager listens to the man and then explains
that the hotel has an Olympic-sized swimming pool --
and a huge conference center that were available for the couple to use.
He also explains they could have taken in one of
the shows for which the hotel was famous for.
"The best entertainers from New York -- Hollywood and
Las Vegas come here to perform," explains the manager.
No matter what facility the manager mentions, the man
replies "But we didn't use it????" To which the
manager replied "It was there and you could have!"
The manager is unmoved and eventually the man gives
up and agrees to pay. He writes out a check and hands
it over. The manager is surprised when he looks at
the check. "But Sir," he says,
"this check is only made out for $100?"
"That's right," said the man." I charged you
$250 for sleeping with my wife."
"But I didn't!" exclaims the manager.
"Well," the man replied
"She was here, and you could have!"
