>>A proper man met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the night with
>>her for $500. So they did. Before he left, he told her 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 his office he regretted what he had done, realizing
>>that the whole event was not worth the price. So he had his secretary
>>send a check for $250 and enclosed the following note:
>>
>> Dear Madam,
>>
>> Enclosed is 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. That there was plenty of heat;
>> 3. That 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 returned the check for
>>$250 with the following note:
>>
>> Dear Sir,
>>
>> First of all, I cannot understand how you 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
>> landlady!
