Yup, I could easily spend as much on a dive trip to AUS as I did on the 944....

The Hotel Bill
An older lady decided to give herself a big treat for her significant 70th birthday by staying overnight in an expensive hotel. When she checked out next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She exploded and demanded to know why the charge was so high. "It's a Nice hotel but the rooms certainly aren't worth $250.00 for just an Overnight stay! I didn't even have breakfast." The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate', so she Insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre Which are available for use." "But I didn't use them," she said. ''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager. He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the In-hotel shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best Entertainers from the world over performing here," the Manager said. "But I didn't go to any of those shows," she said. "Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied. No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I Didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response. After several minutes discussion with the Manager unmoved, she decided To pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But madam, This check is for only $50.00." "That's correct. I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me," she Replied. "But I didn't!" exclaims the very surprised Manager. "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."

Being a parent I have also learned to ignore kids, come to think of it I am good at ignoring people in general.
