Joke

 

A woman decided to treat herself to a special 70th birthday treat by spending the night in a luxury hotel

The next morning, when she checked out, the receptionist handed her a bill for $250.

Surprised, the woman protested:

"I understand that it's a nice hotel, but $250 for one night is way too much! I didn't even have breakfast!"

The receptionist calmly replied that that was the standard price and that breakfast was included if she wanted to use it.

Not satisfied, she asked to speak to the manager.

The manager arrived, already informed of the discussion, and explained with a smile:

"Ma'am, this hotel offers an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center for guests to use."

"But I didn't use them!" she retorted.

"Well, they're here and you could have used them."

The manager continued, listing other services:

"We have exclusive shows with the best artists in the world, very famous!"

"But I didn't see any of the shows!"

"Well, we do, and you could have done that."

Every time the woman said she didn't use a service, the manager responded with the same statement.

After a few minutes of arguing, the woman gave in, took out her checkbook, wrote out a check, and handed it to the manager.

When the manager looked at it, he was astonished:

"Ma'am, this check is only for $50!"

"That's right. I charged you $200 for spending the night with me."

"But I didn't do anything of the sort!" he protested.

"Too bad... I was here and you could have!"
