A young man met a beautiful woman, and agreed to spend the night with her for $500. So they did. But, before he left, he told her that
he did not have enough cash with him. He said that he would have his secretary make out a check for her, calling the payment "RENT FOR APARTMENT".
On the way to his office, he regretted what he had promised, deciding the whole event was not worth the price. He had his secretary instead write a check for $250, and enclosed the following note:
Dear Madam,
Enclosed please 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 feel cozy and at home.
Last night, however, I found that it had been previously occupied, there was no heat, and it was entirely large.
Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately sent back the check for $250 with the following note:
Dear Sir,
First of all, I don't understand how you can expect such a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the heat, there is heat, if you know how to turn it on. Regarding the space, the
apartment is indeed, regular size, however if you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please do not blame the landlady!
