expensive hotel room
A husband and wife are traveling by car from Atlanta to New York.
After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they decide to stop at a nice hotel and take a room.
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.
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 aren't worth $350.
When the clerk explains that $350 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the manager.
The manager enters and explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre which were available for the husband and wife to use.
He also explains that they could have taken in one of the shows which the hotel is famous for.
"The best entertainers from New York, Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here," explains the manager.
No matter what facility the manager mentions, the man replies, "but we didn't use it!"
The manager is unmoved. Eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a cheque and hands it to the manager.
"But sir," the manager says, "this cheque is only made out for $100."
"That's right," replies the man. "I charged you $250 for sleeping with my wife."
"What! I didn't sleep with your wife!" exclaims the manager.
"Well," the man replies, "she was here, and you could have."
