Charged,
but NOT used. 
      A man and his
wife had been traveling 
      for 18 hours
when they decided to stop 
      for a few
hours to rest. They checked 
       into a nice
hotel and slept for 4 
hours. 
      
      When
they were ready to continue their 
      trip, they
went downstairs to pay 
their bill. The
desk clerk handed 
them a bill for $350. 
       
      The man
exploded, and said 
the  bill was too high, 
asking to see the manager. 
       
      The manager
met them at the  front 
desk and explained that the
hotel 
      has
an
olympic pool and 
a very nice conference 
room,
and
that they were 
      available for the 
      couple's 
      use. 
       
"But we didN'T use them!" the man 
       complained. 
       
      The
manager insisted that the room 
and pool  were
available for them, as 
well as tickets  to several
shows. 
       
      The
man explained they  didN'T use 
any of those things, to which  the 
manager replied, "BUT
      YOU 
      COULD HAVE." 
       
Finally, needing to get back on the 
road,  the
man wrote
a  
check for $100. 
       
       The manager looked at 
the check  and said, 
"This is only
for $100." 
       
The man replied,  "That's
right. 
I CHARGED YOU 
      $250 FOR SLEEPING 
WITH MY WIFE." 
       
      "BUT I DIDN'T 
SLEEP WITH HER!" 
 the manager  exclaimed. 
       
The man smiled and said, "Yeah, but 
       she was 
      here
and 
      YOU COULD HAVE.
