Hotel Bill
  Â
    Next time you think your hotel bill is too high, you might want to consider this:
   Â
    My wife and I are traveling by car from Victoria to Prince George. Being Seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, we were too tired to continue, and decided to take a room. But, we only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When we checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed us a bill for $350.00.
   Â
    I explode and demanded to know why the charge is so high. I told the clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth $350.00 for four hours.  Then the clerk tells me that $350.00  is the 'standard rate'. I insisted on speaking to the Manager.
   Â
    The Manager appears, listens to me, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for us to use. 'But we didn't use them," I said. ''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager.
   Â
    He went on to explain that we 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," the Manager says.
   Â
    "But we didn't go to any of those shows," I said. "Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
   Â
    No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, I  replied, "But we didn't use it!"
   Â
    The Manager is unmoved, and eventually I gave up and agreed to pay. I wrote a check and gave it to the Manager.
   Â
    The Manager is surprised when he looks at the cheque. "But sir, this check is only made out for $50.00." ''That's correct. I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with my wife," I replied. "But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.
   Â
    I said, "Well, too bad,  she was here, and you could have."
