"Amenities"
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. 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. 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
the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge
conference center that were available for the
husband and wife to use. He also explains 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," explains the manager.
No matter what facility 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 $100."
"That's right," says the man. "I charged you $250
for sleeping with my wife."
"But I didn't!" exclaims the manager.
"Well," the man replies, "she was here, and you
could have."
