The Saturday Night Joke



A woman decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.

When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00.  She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms 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,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it.  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 center which are available for use."

"But I didn't use them."  'Well, they are here, and you could have."
He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous."We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here."

"But I didn't go to any of those shows.." 

"Well, we have them, and you could have." 
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, and with the Manager still 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." 

"But I didn't!" 

"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."(H/T Hrothgar)

From our sharp shooting 'Ette Sharon, Willow's Apprentice: "This is long but a pretty amazing story. There were times it made me cry but all I could think about was how amazing and resilient the Israelis are. Towards the end, someone says It is not about her. It is about us. Exactly."

Longtime 'Ette Miley thought the following story would be good ONT fare, I can't argue. The curious case of the disappearing Hydrox cookies
Oreo, the Hydrox knockoff, has been accused of burying its competitor by scoring sweetheart deals with grocers. Does it wield too much power over smaller rivals

Audrey Peard is searching for an elusive, chocolatey piece of Americana: a package of Hydrox cookies. She’s visited multiple grocery stores near her home in the Bronx, followed a Facebook group, and even talked to a manager at a production facility in El Segundo, California, about supply shortages.

“Almost 30, 40 years I’ve been on the trail for Hydrox,” she says. “And it’s a dirty path, I tell you.”

Howdy,

I generated this picture out of a conversation on one of the afternoon threads last Friday. Perhaps you or one of the other COBs can use it.

Best,

The ONT Musical Interlude & The Long Distance Request Emporium



I saw this and thought of your examples of throat singing.
Tibetan throat singing:
AZ deplorable moron


&&&



Hey MH, my little combo is going to do this song and I stumbled on this cover. I thought you might like it for one of your hidden links or a musical interlude.

I figure it's a song for our times.

Hope all is well.- Pete Seria

Your DNA as well as the victim's together? A hand in the pocket is worth a life sentence. Genius Award Winner.

A Colorado security guard was recently arrested after authorities discovered a severed human hand in his coat pocket. Solomon Martinez, 26, was booked into jail on suspicion of first-degree murder last week, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Pueblo Chieftain.

Pueblo police said they responded to a report of a homicide at Fountain Creek south of Highway 47 on January 10. Officers found a deceased woman in the creek, who hasn't been publicly identified as of Thursday morning (January 18).

A day before the gruesome discovery, Martinez's roommate contacted police about the security guard washing blood off himself with a car wash hose, the affidavit claims. The roommate also claimed Martinez asked for help digging a 10-foot hole, authorities wrote.
