Another good one for we "older" folks". Now you young whippersnappers pay attention;we didn't get old by being(totally) stupid!
>>Never ever mess with old people...LOL.. we're too smart

>>Next time you think your hotel bill is too high, you might want to
>>consider this:
>>
>>My wife and I are traveling by car from Victoria to Prince George .
>>Being Seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, we were too tired
>>to continue, and decided 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 handed us a bill for $350.00.
>>
>>I explode and demanded to know why the charge is so high.I told the
>>clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth
>>$350.00 for four hours. 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," I said.''Well, they are here,
>>and you could have," explained the Manager.
>>
>>He went on to explain that we could also have taken in one of the shows

>>York , Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says.
>>
>>"But we didn't go to any of those shows," I said. "Well, we have them,
>>and you could have," the Manager replied.
>>
>>No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, I replied,"But we didn't

>>
>>The Manager is unmoved, and eventually I gave up and agreed to pay.
>>
>>I wrote a check and gave 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. I charged you
>>$300.00 for sleeping with my wife," I replied.
>>
>>"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.
>>
>>I said, "Well, too bad, she was here, and you could have."
