A husband and wife are travelling by car from Key
West to Boston. After almost 24 hrs on the road ,
they are too tired to continue and 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
then get back on the road. When they check out four
hours later, the desk clerk hands them over a bill
for $350.

The man explodes and demands to know why the charge
is so high. He tells the clerk that although it's a
nice hotel , the rooms certainly weren't worth the
$350 rate. When the clerk tells him $350 is the
standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the
manager.

The manager listens to the man and then explains
that the hotel has an Olympic-sized swimming pool –
and a huge conference center that were available for
the couple to use. He also explains they could have
taken in one of the shows for which the hotel was
famous for. “The best entertainers from New York –
Hollywood and Las Vegas come here to perform,”
explains the manager. No matter what facility the
manager mentions, the man replies “But we didn't use
it????” To which the manager replied “It was there
and you could have!”

The manager is unmoved and eventually the man gives
up and agrees to pay. He writes out a check and
hands it over. The manager is surprised when he
looks at the check. “But Sir,” he says, “this check
is only made out for $100?”

“That's right,” said the man.“ I charged you $250
for sleeping with my wife.”

“But I didn't!” exclaims the manager.

“Well,” the man replied “She was here, and you could
have!”
