Motel Humour

Heard some interesting stories this week....

A woman arrived at a motel reception and the asked the motelier behind the counter how much they charged for a room. 
The motelier told her the tariff depended on the room size and number of people. 
Do you take children? the woman replied.
No, madam, replied the motelier. Only cash and credit cards.


A man telephoned a motel to reserve a room and asked what their corporate rates were.
The motelier told him, the price was accepted and he went through the routine of taking reservation details by asking the caller for his name and address. 
When the motelier asked him what company he was with, he curtly replied, "Well! My wife's, of course!

While visiting Palmerston North, an elderly couple were turned away from countless fully booked motels and hotels. 
Finally, they arrived at a hotel and the manager offered them the only accommodation he had left - the bridal suite. 
"But we've been married for 30 years!" exclaimed the husband. 
"Sir, if I gave you the ballroom," replied the manager patiently, "I wouldn't expect you to dance all night."

On holiday in Paihia a couple meet a young Japanese woman sitting by the motel pool. Being from Auckland, they commented on Northland's wonderful weather in comparison to the changeable climate they had been experiencing back home. 
The young woman nodded politely and appeared to be struggling with an obvious language barrier. After some time the couple realised that they had not asked about her native country or climate. When they asked her where he lived, she smiled broadly and replied - "Hamilton."

A young blond woman arrived at the motel reception and requested a room for the night.
The motelier dutifully offered her a room and handed her a registration form to complete.
After completing the form the woman slammed it down in front of the motelier and demanded why he needed to  know such personal information. 
Confused by her reaction, the motlier read her card. In the space where the motel collected company names under the heading "Firm?" she had written: Yes, very! What of it?
