A married couple are traveling by car from Victoria to Prince George. After almost eleven hours on the road, they
were too tired to continue, and decided to find a room. But they only wanted to sleep for four hours and then get
back on the road. When they checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350.00.
The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He told the clerk although it's a nice hotel,
the rooms certainly are not worth $350.00 for four hours. The clerk tells him that is the 'standard rate'. So the
man insists on speaking with the manager.
The Manager appears, listens to him, then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference
center available for them to use.
"But we didn't use them." the husband said.
"Well, they were there 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 didn't use them," the husband says.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," said the Manager.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, the husband replied, "But, we didn't use it!"
"The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the husband gave up and agreed to pay. As he didn't have his 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 Ma'am, this only made out for $50.00."
"That's correct. I charged you $300.00 for spending the night with me," she replied,
"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."

I love it! I'll have to remember this one!
