A husband and wife are traveling by car from Atlanta to New York to. 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 man 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 listens to the man and then explains the hotel has an  Olympic
sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for the husband
and wife to use. He also explains they could have taken in one of the shows
for which the hotel is famous. "Best entertainers from New York, Hollywood
and Las Vegas perform here," explains the manager.

No matter what facility the manager mentions, the man claimed, "But we didn't
use it!" And the manager replied, " But they were here, and you could have."
Eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a check and gives it
to the manager.

The manager is surprised when he looks at the check. "But sir," he says, 
"this check is only made out for $100."

"That's right," says the man. "I charged you $250 for wife."

"But I didn't!" exclaims the manager.

"Well," the man replies, "she was here, and you could have."
