The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the receptionist although it's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly are not worth £350.00! When the receptionist tells him £350.00 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 centre that were available for the husband and wife to use. 'But we didn't use them,' the man complains.

'But we didn't go to the cabaret,' complains the man again.
'Well, we have them, and you could have,' the Manager replies.

'That's correct,' says the man. 'I charged you £300.00 for sleeping with my wife.'
'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager.
'Well, too bad,' the man replies,
