A married couple was traveling by car from Walton
Ky. to Jacksonville Fl. Being Seniors, after almost eleven
hours on the road, they were too tired to continue, and
decided to take a room. But, they only planned to sleep for
four hours and then get back on the road. When they checked
out four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for
$350.00.
The man explodes and demands to know why the
charge is so high. He told the clerk although it's a
nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth $350.00 for
four hours. Then the clerk tells him that $350.00 is the
'standard rate'. He insisted on speaking to the
Manager.
The Manager appears, listens to him, and then
explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge
conference center that were available for us to use.
'But we didn't use them," the husband said.
''Well, they are here, and you could have,"
explained the Manager.
The Manager went on to explain that the couple
could also have taken in one of the shows for which the
hotel is famous. "We have 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," the husband said. "Well, we have them, and
you could have," the Manager replied.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, the
husband replied, "But we didn't use it!"
The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the
husband gave up and agreed to pay. As he didn't have the
check book he asked his wife to write the check.
She did and gave it to the Manager.
The Manager is surprised when he looks at the
check. "But ma'am, this is only made out for
$50.00."
''That's correct. I charged you
$300.00 for sleeping with me,"
she replied.
"But I didn't!" exclaims the
Manager.
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could
have."
