A businessman books into a country hotel, asks for breakfast at 8.30 and requests a girl to come to his room after dinner that night.
“That’s outrageous!” says the wife. “What sort of hotel does he think we are running? Go and tell him, Fred.”
But her husband thinks it’s a lot of fuss about nothing and tells her so.
“Okay, if you won’t go, then I will”, and she disappears up to his room.
Some time later, the man appears in the bar for a nightcap and seeing the husband, he comments,
“My goodness, that was quite a woman you sent up. I like the hard-to-get type, it’s more fun, particularly in the end when they surrender.”
