+====== Hotel Bill ======
+Next time you think your hotel bill is too high, you might want to consider this:
+My wife and I are travelling by car from Victoria to Prince George.After almost eleven hours on the road, we were too tired to continue, and decide to take a room. But, we only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When we checked out four hours later, the desk clerk hands us a bill for $350.00.
+I explode and demand to know why the charge is so high.I tell the clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth $350.00  Then the clerk tells me that $350.00 is the 'standard rate'. I insisted on speaking to the Manager.
+The Manager appears, listens to me, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for us to use.'But we didn't use them.''Well, they are here, and you could have,' explains the Manager.
+He goes on to explain we could also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. 'We have 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,' .'Well, we have them, and you could have,' the Manager replies.
+No matter what amenity the Manager mentions, I  reply,'But we didn't use it!'
+The Manager is unmoved, and eventually I gave up and agreed to pay.
+I  write a cheque and give it to the Manager.
+The Manager is surprised when he looks at the cheque. 'But sir,' 'this cheque is only made out for $50.00.''That's correct, as I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with my wife.'
+'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager.
+'Well, too bad,  she was here, and you could have.'
