Quick thinker‏

Now here's a guy who is a quick thinker! The
next time you think your hotel bill is too high you
might want to consider this...



A 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 ex-
plodes 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, com-
plains 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."
