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 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.

When the clerk tells him $350.00 is t he 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, "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 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.
