Hotel Bill - an absolute Gem.

From My InBox:

A husband and wife
are travelling by car from Brisbane to Melbourne .

After almost ten 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 $450..00.

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 $450.00.

When the clerk tells him $450.00 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 centre 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,
'complains 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 cheque and gives it to the Manager.

The Manager is surprised when he looks at the cheque.
'But sir,' he says,
'this cheque is only made out for $50.00.'

'That's correct,' says the man. 'I charged
you $400 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!
