[size=21][font:fed1=Garamond][color:fed1=black]Next time you think your hotel bill is too high, you might want to consider this... [/color]
[color:fed1=black]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. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]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. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for $350.00. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]The man explodes 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. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]When the clerk tells him $350.00 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the Manager. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]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. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]"But we didn't use them," the man complains. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]"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. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]"The best entertainers from New York, Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]"But we didn't go to any of those shows, "complains the man again. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]"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!" [/color]
[color:fed1=black]The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a check and gives it to the Manager. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. "But sir, this check is only made out for $50.00." [/color]
[color:fed1=black]"That's correct," says the man. "I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with my wife." [/color]
[color:fed1=black]"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager. [/color]
[color:fed1=black]"Well, too bad," the man [/color][color:fed1=#cc3399]replies. "She was here and you could have."[/color][/font][/size]
