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 tocontinue and decide to stop for a rest.
They pull into a nice hotel and take a room, but they plan tosleep for only four hours and then get back on the road.
When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands thema 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 are certainly not worth $350.
When the clerk tells him $350 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appears, listens to the man and 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
e goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the showsfor 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 managain. "Well, we have them and you could have," the Manager replies. 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 andagrees 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 made out only for $50."
"That's correct," says the man. "I charged you $300 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."
