gottcha .....

A guy receives an ad in the mail for a golf resort where everything
costs one dollar. He jumps at the offer and heads off for a weekend
of fun in the sun.

He arrives and plays a round of golf. It cost him a buck. When he
goes for dinner that evening, it costs him another buck. His room is
only a buck a day! The day before he's to check out, he heads out to
play a last round and stops by the pro shop and charges a sleeve of
three balls to his room.

When he's checking out next morning, he looks at the bill and sees
"Golf: $1. 00. Dinner: $1.00. Room: $1.00. Sleeve of golf balls:
$3,000.00" He hits the ceiling !

Calling over to the manager, he asks, "What is this all about ?
Everything is supposed to cost one dollar, and you charged me
three thousand for three golf balls ?"

I'm sorry, sir," said the manager, "but you didn't read the fine
print in our promotional brochure. That's what our golf balls cost."
"Well," said the man, "if I wanted to spend that kind of money, I
could've gone to that luxury hotel across the street and paid them a
thousand dollars a day for a room. At least I would've known what
I was paying for !"

"That's right, sir, you could have," said the manager. "Over there
they get you by the room. Over here we get you by the balls !
