Don't mess with little old ladies...!

[Ron Sower]

An older lady decided to give herself a big treat for her 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 !!!
