A Trinidadian and his wife were travelling by car from Key West to Boston. After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they're too tired to continue, and decide to stop for a rest. They stop at a nice hotel, take a room 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 $350.00 The Trini 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 Trini insists on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appears, listens, and explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for the Trini and wife to use. "But we didn't use them", the Trini complains. "Well, they are here, and you could have," explains the Manager. The Manager goes on to explain they could have taken in one of
the shows for which the hotel is famous. The best entertainers from New York, ollywood and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says. "But we didn't go to any of those shows," complains the Trini again. "Well, we have them, and you could have", the Manager replies. No matter what facility the Manager mentions, the Trini replies, "But we didn't use it!" The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the Trini gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a cheque and gives it to the Manager. The Manager is surprised when he looks at the cheque. "But sir," he says, "this is only made out for $50." "That's right," says the Trini. "I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with my wife." "But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager. "Well," the Trini replies, "she was here, and you could
have...""
