Ebad, a somewhat shy but always irrepressible gentleman from the midwest,
sent this one about a hotel bill.

An elderly lady decided to give herself a big treat for her significant birthday by
staying overnight in one of Chicago's most expensive hotel.

When she checked out next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.

She exploded and demanded to know why the charge was so high. "It's a nice
hotel but the rooms here certainly aren't worth $250 for just an overnight stop
without even breakfast."

The clerk told her that $250 is the standard rate, so she insisted on speaking
to the manager.

The manager appeared and forewarned by the desk clerk announced: "Madam,
this hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are
available for use."

"But I didn't use them," she replied.

"Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the manager.

He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows
for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best entertainers from New York,
Los Angeles, and Las Vegas performing here," the manager said.

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

Well, we have them, and you could have," the manager replied.

No matter what amenity the manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't
use it!"

The manager was unmoved, so she decided to pay, wrote a check and handed
it to the manager.

The manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But madam, this check
is only made out for $50."

'That's correct. I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me," she replied.

"But I didn't!" exclaims the very surprised manager.

"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."

Don't mess with Senior Citizens!
