The Bill

[**Tilly**]

An older lady decided to give herself a big treat for her significant 70th birthday by staying overnight in an expensive hotel.

When she checked out next morning, the desk clerk handed her a

 

 

 

 

bill for £250.00.

 

 

She exploded and demanded to know why the charge was so high.

 

 

"It's a nice hotel but the rooms certainly aren't worth $250.00 for just

 

 

an overnight stay! I didn't even have breakfast."

 

 

 

 

The clerk told her that £250.00 is the 'standard rate', so she

 

 

insisted on speaking to the Manager.

 

 

The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk,

 

 

announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre which are available for use."

 

 

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

 

 

''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 the world over 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!" and the Manager countered with his standard response.

 

 

After several minutes discussion with the Manager unmoved, she

 

 

decided to pay, wrote a check 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. 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!!
