85th birthday joke

An old lady decided to give herself a big treat for
her 85th birthday by staying overnight in an expensive hotel.
When she checked out next morning, the desk clerk handed her a
bill for $450.00. She exploded and demanded to know why the charge
was so high. "It's a nice hotel but the rooms certainly aren't
worth $450.00 for just an overnight stay! I didn't even have breakfast."
The clerk told her that $450.00 is the 'standard rate,' so she insisted on speaking to the manager. The manager appeared and, forewarned by
the desk clerk, informed the woman, "This hotel has an Olympic-sized
pool and a huge conference center 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 $400.00 for sleeping with me,
" she replied. "But I didn't!" exclaimed the very surprised manager.
"Well, too bad. I was here and you could have."
Don't mess with Senior Citizens.
