Apartment For Rent

[swdivad]

A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to

spend the afternoon with him 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:

En closed find a check for $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."
