The Hotel Bill An older lady decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high. I agree its a nice hotel, but the rooms arent worth $250.00 for just an overnight stay! I didnt even have breakfast. The clerk told her that $250.00 is the standard rate, and breakfast had been included had she wanted it. She insisted 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 didnt 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 the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous. We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here, the Manager said. But I didnt 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 didnt use it! and the Manager countered with his standard response. After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still 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 $50.00. Thats correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me, she replied. But I didnt! exclaimed the very surprised Manager. Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have.
