IT IS ENTIRELY YOUR CHOICE
During a European tour, an American couple came to a Swiss holiday resort and asked if there were any vacancies. Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the husband wanted to know the price of a room.
“$100 a day,” - replied the clerk at the reception.
The room was spacious and well furnished, the food excellent, the service courteous, the countryside beautiful, so the couple stayed for a week. On the last evening, the husband went down to the reception desk and requested the bill. To his astonishment it came to $1,400. He asked to see the manager:
“I was told that the price would be $100 per day and we stayed for 7 days only,” - he complained
“Yes, but we charge $100 a week for the use of our well-appointed tennis courts,” - replied the manager.
“But it’s the middle of winter, the snow is a meter high and the temperature outside is minus 25°.”
“The management regrets that you found the weather too cold. It is entirely our distinguished guests’ choice, whether they use our facilities, or not. They are there at their disposal,”- continued the manager. “Further, we billed you 100 additional dollars for the use of our Olympic-size swimming pool
“Are you crazy? It is an outdoor pool and it is frozen solid” - protested the tourist.
“Frozen or not, it was there for you to use. Then there is $100 charge per person for a ski-pass”.
Needless to say, it was in vain that the guest pointed out that neither he, nor his wife could ski. The manager summed up:
“And then there is $100 each, for our bobsled course, for the extensive bicycle paths and the well-equipped nursery, which takes care of your offspring, while you enjoy our luxurious facilities. That comes to $1,400 exactly, without service charge.”
The tourist thought for a minute and then wrote out a check. Now it was the manager’s turn to act surprised:
“But this check is for $700 only,” - he stated the obvious.
“Yes, but I charged you $100 a day for fucking my wife.”
“What! That ugly, fat, disgusting old hag?”
“I’m sorry that you did not like my wife, but it was entirely your own choice whether you made use of her services, or not. She was there at your disposal.”
