Rent For Apartment >A businessman meets a beautiful girl and agrees to spend the afternoon >with her for $500. So they do. Before he leaves, he tells her that he does >not have any cash with him, but that he will have his secretary write a >check and mail it to her, calling the payment 'RENT FOR APARTMENT. ' >On the way to the office he regrets what he has done, realizing that the >whole event was not worth the price. So he has his secretary send a check >for $250 and enclosed 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 apartment, I was under the impression that: >1.. it had never been occupied; >2.. that there was plenty of heat; >3.. that is was small enough to make me cozy >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. >Send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your present >landlady!
