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

Carol and I  are traveling by car from Key West to Boston, Massachussetts........

After almost twenty-four hours on the road, we are to tired to continue and we decide to stop for a rest.

 We stop at a nice hotel and

Take a room, but we only plan to sleep three or four hours, and then get back on the road.

When we check out four hours later, the desk Clerk hands us a bill for $350.00.

I just explode and demand to know why the charge is so high. I tell  the clerk although it's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly aren't
Worth $350.00.

When the clerk tells me $350.00 is the standard rate, I insist on speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears, listens to me, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for me and  my wife to use.

'But we didn't use them,' I complain.

'Well, they are here, and you could have,' explains the Manager.

He goes on to explain we 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,' I complain  again.

'Well, we have them, and you could have,' the Manager replies.

No matter what amenity the Manager mentions, I keep repling, 'But we didn't use it!'

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually I gives up and agrees to pay. I write 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,'  I reply. 'I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with my wife.'

'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager

'Well, too bad,' I reply   'She was here, and you could have !
