Next time you think your hotel bill is too high you might want to
consider this... 
A husband and wife are travelling by car from Brisbane to Melbourne .

After almost ten hours on the road, they're 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 
$450.00.

The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the 
clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth $450.00.

When the clerk tells him $450.00 is the standard rate, the man insists on 
speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears, listens to the man, and then explains that the hotel has 
an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for the 
husband and wife to use.

'But we didn't use them,' the man complains

'Well, they are here, and you could have,' explains the Manager. He goes on to 
explain 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,' the Manager says.

'But we didn't go to any of those shows, 'complains the man again.

'Well, we have them, and you could have,' the Manager replies.

No matter what amenity the Manager mentions the man replies, 'But we didn't use 
it!'

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He 
writes a cheque and gives it to the Manager.

The Manager is surprised when he looks at the cheque. 'But sir,' he says, 'this 
cheque is only made out for $50.00.'

'That's correct,' says the man. 'I charged you $400 for sleeping with my wife.'

'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager.

'Well, too bad,' the man replies. 'She was here and you could have done so  !!!
