The traveling salesman



------------------------------------------------------------------------


A traveling salesman was about to check in at a hotel when he noticed 
a very charming bit of femininity giving him the so-called eye. In a 
casual manner he walked over and spoke to her as though he had known 
her all his life.

Both walked back to the desk and registered as Mr. and Mrs. 

After a three-day stay he walked up to the desk and informed the clerk 
that he was checking out. The clerk presented him with a bill for $1600.

"There is a mistake here," he protested. "I have been here only three 
days."

"Yes," replied the clerk, "but your wife has been here a month."
