A Sardarji and his wife are traveling by car from Delhi to Mumbai.
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 Rs. 5000/- 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 Rs.. 5000/-.
When the clerk tells him Rs. 5000/- 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, 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 Rs.1500/."
"That's right," says the Sardarji , "I charged you Rs. 3500/- for
sleeping with my wife."
"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.
"Well," the Sardarji replies, "she was here, and you could have.
