An older couple had lived together in the backwoods for over fifty years.
To celebrate their fiftieth anniversary1, he took her to a large city and they checked into a plush hotel.
She said to the bellman, "We refuse to settle2 for such a small room. No windows, no bed, and no air conditioning3."
"But, madam!", replied the bellman.
"Don't 'But madam' me," she continued. "You can't treat us like we're a couple of fools just because we don't travel much, and we've never been to the big city, and never spent the night at a hotel. I'm going to complain to the manager."
"Madam," the bellman said, "this isn't your room, this is the elevator!"
