[BITList] Hotel Bill

[A.Journalist]

    */_The Hotel Bill_/*

    */An elderly lady decided to give herself a big treat for her
    significant 70th birthday by staying overnight in one of
    /**/London/**/'s most expensive hotels./*

    */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 stop without even 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:
    "The 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 /**/Edinburgh/**/, /**/Glasgow/**/,
    /**/and/**//**/Aberdeen/**//**/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 cheque and gave it
    to him. /*

    */The Manager was surprised when/**//**/he looked at the
    cheque./**/ "/**/But madam, this/**//**/cheque/**//**/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."/*
