A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the afternoon with
her for $500. They did their thing, and, before he left, he told her that
he did not have any cash with him, but 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 had not been worth the price. So he had his secretary send a
check for $250 and enclose the following typed note:
"Dear Madam:
Enclosed find check in the amount of $250 for rent of your apartment. I am
not sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the place, I was
under the
impression that:
#1 - it had never been occupied;
#2 - there was plenty of heat; and
#3 - it was small enough to make me feel cozy and at home.
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 returned the check for $250
with the following note:
Dear Sir:
First, I cannot understand how you could expect 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 do not
blame the
management.
Please send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your present
landlady.
