Hotel

[lawnmower]

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

Husband and wife are travelling by car from Scotland to Cornwall.

After almost twenty 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 centre 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 cheque and gives it to the manager.

The manager is surprised when he looks at the cheque.

"But sir," he says, this cheque 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."
