This one is for last Friday.
A married couple is traveling by car from Victoria to Prince George , BC .
Being Seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, they were too tired to
continue, and decided to take a room. But, they only planned 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 aren't worth $350.00 for
four hours. Then the clerk tells him that $350.00 is the 'standard rate'. The
man insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appears, listens to him,
and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference
center that were available for them to use. 'But we didn't use them," the
husband said.
''Well, they are here, 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," he says.
"But we didn't go to any of those shows," the husband said.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
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 the 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 is only
made out for $50.00."
''That's correct. I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with me," she replied.
"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
Don't mess with senior citizens. They didn't get there by being stupid!
