The Hotel Bill

An elderly lady decided to give herself a big treat for her significant
birthday by staying overnight in one of London 's most expensive hotels.


When she checked out next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for
£250.00.

She exploded and demanded to know why the charge was so high. "It's a nice
hotel but the rooms certainly aren't worth £250.00 for just an overnight
stop without even breakfast."


The clerk told her that £250.00 is the 'standard rate' so she insisted on
speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appeared and forewarned by the desk clerk announced: "the hotel
has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre which are available
for use."
'But I didn't use them," she said.
''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager.

He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel
shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best entertainers from
Edinburgh , Glasgow , and Aberdeen performing here," the Manager said.

"But I didn't go to any of those shows," she said.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.

No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use
it!"

The Manager was unmoved, so she decided to pay, wrote a cheque and gave it
to the Manager.

The Manager was surprised when he looked at the cheque. "But madam, this
cheque is only made out for £50.00." ''That's correct. I charged you £200.00
for sleeping with me," she replied.

"But I didn't!" exclaims the very surprised Manager.

"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
