The Hotel Bill
An older lady decided to give herself a big treat for her significant70th birthday by
staying overnight in an expensive hotel.When she checked out next
morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for$250.00. She exploded
and demanded to know why the charge was so high. "It's a nice hotel but the
rooms certainly aren't worth $250.00 for just anovernight stay! I didn't
even have breakfast. "The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard
rate', so sheinsisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager
appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced:"This hotel has an
Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre which are available for
use."
"But I didn't
use them," she said.''Well, they are here, and you could have,"
explained the Manager.He went on to explain that she could also have
seen one of thein-hotel shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the
bestentertainers from the world over performing here," the Manager
said."But I didn't go to any of those shows," she said."Well, we
have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.No matter what
amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the
Manager countered with his standard response.After several minutes
discussion with the Manager unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave
it to him.The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But
madam, this check is for only $50.00.""That's correct. I charged you
$200.00 for sleeping with me," she replied."But I didn't!" exclaims the
very surprised Manager."Well, too bad, I was here, and you could
have."Don't mess with Senior
Citizens
