A Sardar ji and his 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 Sardarji 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 Sardarji, 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 Sardarji 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,"
sardarji complains again.
"Well, we have them, and you could have", the Manager
replies. No matter what facility the Manager mentions,
the sardarji replies "But we didn`t use it".
The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the Sardarji
finally gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a check
and gives it to the Manager.
The Manager is surprised when the looks at the check.
"But sir," he says, "this check is only made out for
$100." "That`s right," says the sardarji,
"I charged you $250 for sleeping with my wife."
"But I didn`t!" exclaims the Manager.
"Well," the Sardarji replies, "she was here,
and you could have."
