Hotel Bill Joke

Maybe you've seen this.

Hotel Bill
   
    Next time you think your hotel bill is too high, you might want to consider this:
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    "But we didn't go to any of those shows," I said. "Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
    
    No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, I  replied, "But we didn't use it!"
    
    The Manager is unmoved, and eventually I gave up and agreed to pay. I wrote a check and gave it to the Manager.
    
    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.
    
    I said, "Well, too bad,  she was here, and you could have."

Mr. Tbend would never be this clever. His dad can come up with things like this. Hope you're having a great day.

I wish I had something good like this to tell the telephone repairman.

More and more of the casino hotels are tacking on resort fees, makes me think of this.

Makes me think about the room rates I charge here, not that I tack stuff on like this.
