Next time when the Hotel Bill is too high...

A husband and wife are traveling by car from Phoenix to NYC. After nearly twenty hours on the road, they're too tired to continue, they decide to stop for a rest.
They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep Just for four hours and then get back on the road. When they check out four hours later, the front desk clerk hands them a bill for $450.
The man is hysterical annoyed and demand to know why the charge is so high.
He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel but the rooms certainly aren't worth $450. When the clerk tells him $450 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appears, listens to the man, 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 man 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 the hotel is famous.
"The best entertainers from New York, Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says.
"But we didn't go to any of those shows, "complains the man again.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replies.
No matter what facility the Manager mentions, the man replies, "But we didn't use it!"
The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay.
He writes a travelling cheque and gives it to the Manager.
The Manager is surprised. "But sir," he says, this cheque is only made out for $100."
"That's correct," says the man. "I charged you $350 for sleeping with my wife."
"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.
"Well, too bad," the man replies." She was here and you could have."
