>APT FOR RENT in ATLANTA, GA
>
>A prosperous and somewhat amorous businessman, propositioned a
>beautiful chorus girl of well-proportioned figure to spend the night with
>him for $500. When he was ready to leave the next morning, certain
>things having transpired, he told her he didn't have that much money with
>him, but would have his secretary mail her a check for it, made out to
>RENT FOR APARTMENT, to avoid any embarrassment.
>
>On the way to the office, however, after thinking the matter over
>carefully, he decided the night hadn't been worth what he had agreed to
>pay, so he had his secretary send a check for $250 instead, and enclosed
>the following explanatory note:
>
> Dear Madam:
> Enclosed is my check for the amount of
> $250 for rent on your apartment.
> I am sending this amount instead of the
> amount originally agreed upon, because
> when I rented this apartment, I was under
> the impression that....
>
> 1. It had never been occupied
> 2. That there was plenty of heat
> 3. That it was small
>
> Last night, I found that it had been occupied
> many times, that there wasn't any heat, and
> that it was entirely too large!
>
>Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the check, with
>this note:
>
> I am returning the check for $250. I
> cannot understand how you could expect such
> a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied.
> As for the heat.... there is plenty of it
> there if you know how to turn it on. As for
> the size, it's not my fault if you didn't
> have enough furniture to furnish it.
