Hotel Truce

An old married couple were traveling by car. Being seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, they were too tired to continue and decided to take a room at a hotel. But, they only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When they checked out of the hotel four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350. The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He told the clerk although its a nice hotel; the rooms certainly arent worth $350 for four hours. Then the clerk tells him that $350 is the 'standard rate'. He insisted on speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears, listens to him, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for us to use.
But we didnt use them, the husband said.
Well, they are here, and you could have, explained the Manager. The Manager went on to explain that the couple could also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. We have the best entertainers from New York , Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here, the Manager says.
But we didnt go to any of those shows, the husband said.
Well, we have them, and you could have, the Manager replied.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, the husband replied, But we didnt use it!

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the husband gave up and agreed to pay. As he didnt have the check book, he asked his wife to write the check. She did and gave it to the Manager. The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. But maam, this is made out for only $50.00.
Thats correct. I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with me, she replied.
But I didnt! exclaims the Manager.
Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
