An old lady treats herself.
An old 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 receptionist 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 receptionist 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 Receptionist, announced: “This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center 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, wrote a cheque 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, thats just too bad. I was here, and you could have”
