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!
