A husband and wife were travelling by car from Johannesburg to Cape
Town. After a tiresome long distance of travelling, they were too
Tired to continue. They stopped at a nice hotel and took a room and
planned to sleep for four hours and get back on the road.
When they checked out four hours later, the desk clerk charged them
R750. The man exploded and demanded the reason for such a high price.
The clerk told him R750 was the standard rate. The man asked to speak
to the Manager.
The Manager listened to the man and explained the hotel had an Olympic
sized pool and a huge conference centre, and they featured spectacular
Shows available to the clients. "The best entertainers from Jo' burg,
Cape Town, Durban perform here, " he explained. No matter what
Facility the Manager mentioned, the man replied, "But we didn't use
it!"
"Well, it was here, so you could have" replied the manager.
"But we didn't!!" exclaimed the now rather angry man.
The manager was unmoved, and finally the man gave up and agreed to pay.
He wrote a cheque and gave it to the manager. The manager was
Surprised when he looked at the cheque. "But sir," he said," this
cheque is made out for only R200!"
"That's right," said the man," I charged you R550 for sleeping with my
wife."
"But I didn't!" exclaimed the manager.
"Well," the man replied, "She was here, and you could have."
