A businessman meets a beautiful girl who agrees to spend the afternoon
with
him for $500. So they do. Before he leaves, he tells her that he
doesn't
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!"
