I CAN SEE THIS HAPPENING

A lady decided to give herself

a big treat for her 90th birthday

by staying overnight in a

really nice luxurious hotel..

When she checked out the next morning,

the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00.

She demanded to know why

the charge was so high

"I agree it's a nice hotel,

but the rooms aren't worth $250..00

for just an overnight stay

I didn't even have breakfast!" 

The clerk told her that $250.00

is the 'standard rate,'

and breakfast had been included

had she wanted it. 

She insisted on speaking to the Manager. 

The Manager appeared and

forewarned by the desk clerk, announced:

"This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool

and a huge conference centre

which are available for use."

"But I didn't use them."

''Well, they are here and you could have." 

He went on to explain that she

could also have seen one of the in-hotel

shows for which they were so famous.

"We have the best entertainers from

all over the world performing here." 

"But I didn't go to any of those shows.."

She Pleaded.

"Well, we have them

and you could have." was the reply.

No matter what amenity the

Manager mentioned, she replied, 

"But I didn't use it!" and the

Manager countered with his 
standard response. 

After several minutes discussion

and with the Manager still unmoved,

she decided to pay,

she wrote a check and gave it to him. 

The Manager was surprised

when he looked at the check. 

"But Madam, this check is for only $50.00"

"That's correct" she replied

"I charged you $200.00

for sleeping with me." 

"But I didn't sleep with you madam!"

said the manager

"Well, too bad, I was here

and you could have."
