The Hotel Bill

A husband and wife are traveling by car from Key West to
Boston. 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 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 for which 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 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
sleeping with my wife."

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

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

Im not a latin buff myself but Im fairly sure they mean the following:

Nunc Tutus Exitus Computarus (It is now safe to turn off your computer).

Vini, Vidi, Velcro (I came, I saw, I stuck around) This was a nice one for me in relation to the boards

P.S. Im not 100% sure if its correct latin but its funny tho
