A man met a beautiful girl and she agreed to spend the night with
him for $500. So, they spent the night together. In the morning,
before he left, he told the girl that he did not have any cash with
him, but that he would have his secretary write a check and mail it
to her, calling the payment "Rent for Apartment."
On the way to the office, he regretted what he had done, realizing
that the whole event was not worth the price. So, he sent a check
for $250 and enclosed a note:
"Dear Madam: Enclosed you will find a check in the amount of $250
for rent of your..........apartment. I am not sending the amount
agreed upon because when I rented the........apartment, I was under
the impression that:
1. It had never been occupied;
2. There was plenty of heat;
3. It was small enough to make me cozy and at home.
Last night, however, I found out that it had been previously
occupied, that there wasn't any heat, and that......it was entirely
too large."
Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately sent back the
following reply:
"Dear Sir: First of all, I cannot understand how you expect such a
beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the
heat, there is plenty of it if you know how to turn it on.
Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but
if you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please don't blame
the landlord.
