Married To No One Inn Particular
(I’m checking in a woman who walked into our hotel. We have two rooms left, and we are one of the pricier hotels in the area.)
Me: “Your room will be [price] plus tax per night.”
Customer: “You don’t have anything cheaper?”
Me: “Not right now. We are almost sold out tonight.”
Customer: “Not Triple A?”
Me: “No, I’m sorry.”
Customer: *mumbling* “My house burned down!”
Me: “I’m very sorry.”
Customer: *mumbling* “I’m dying!”
Me: “Um…”
Customer: “My husband just died!”
Me: “Ma’am?”
Customer: “He was in the military! I want a room for a hundred dollars less!”
Me: “I’m sorry, but we don’t ever offer rooms that low. There are hotels right across the street that do, though.”
Customer: “No! I want to stay here! My husband loves this place. It’s the only place he will stay.”
Me: “Your deceased husband?”
Customer: “Uh, no, the other one.”
Me: “Your other husband?”
Customer: “Just give me a room.”
(She gets keys, walks out of the hotel, and returns with a man.)
Customer: “See, he isn’t dead!”
Me: “I’m glad to see that.”
Customer: *to man* “She was trying to kill you!”
