Subject: The Hotel Bill
A husband and wife are traveling by car from Key West to Boston.
After almost twenty-four 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 $350. 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 $350.
When the clerk tells him $350 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
center 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.
No matter what facility 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 check and gives it to the Manager. The Manager is
surprised when he looks at the check. "But sir," he says, "this check
is only
made out for $50."
"That's correct," says the man. "I charged you $300 for sleeping
with my wife."
"But I didn't!" exclai! ms the Manager. "Well, too bad," the man
replies. "She was here, and you could have."

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a
question.
The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus,
went up
on
the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window.
For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver
said:
"Look
mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of
me!".
The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little
tap
would scare you so much."
The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is
my
first
day as a cab driver - I've been driving a van carrying Dead Bodies
for
the
last 25 years.

"The pressure is outrageous. Everyone is picked apart and it's so superficial and not real. I'm not superskinny and not overweight. I'm just normal."
