A husband and wife are traveling by car from Key West to Boston. After almost

twenty-four hours on the road, theyre too tired to continue, and they decide

to stop for a rest. They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they only

plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road.



When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for

$350. The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells

the clerk that although its a nice hotel, the rooms certainly arent worth

$350. When the clerk tells him that $350 is the standard rate, the man insists

on speaking to the manager.



The manager listens to the man and then explains that the hotel has an

Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for the

husband and wife to use. He also explains that they could have taken in one of

the shows for which the hotel is famous. The best entertainers from New York,

Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here, explains the manager. No matter what

facility the manager mentions, the man replies, But we didnt use it! The

manager is unmoved and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He

writes a check and gives it to the manager.



The manager is surprised when he looks at the check. But sir, he says, this

check is only made out for $100. Thats right, says the man. I charged

you $250 for sleeping with my wife. But I didnt! exclaims the manager.

Well, the man replies, she was here, and you could have.
