A woman decided to give herself a big gift for her 70th birthday by spending the night at a very nice hotel. When she left 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 an overnight stay - haven't even had breakfast!.
The secretary told her $250.00 is the "standard rate," and breakfast was included if she wanted it.
She insisted on speaking to the director. The manager showed up and, warned by the receptionist, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic pool and a large conference center available for use."
"But I didn't use them."
Well, they're here, and you could have done it. "He went on to explain that she too could have seen one of the shows at the hotel that they were so famous for." "We have the best artists in the world performing here."
"But I didn't go to any of those shows.."
"Well, we have them, and you could have done it." "
No matter what amenities the manager mentioned, she replied: "But I didn't use it!". "and the manager responded with his standard answer.
After several minutes of arguing, and with the manager still not moving, he decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The director was surprised when he looked at the check.
"But ma'am, this check is only $50.00"
"That's right, I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me.""
"But I didn't do it!"
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have done it."
The devil knows more by being old than by the devil.
