The Ghost of Scousertommy asked:


Next time you think your hotel bill is too high you
might want to consider this…

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 $350.00. 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
$350.00! When the clerk tells him $350.00 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 amenity 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 $50.00.’ ‘That’s correct,’ says the man. ‘I charged you
$300.00 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.’
