APARTMENT for RENT 
A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend 
the night with her 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: 
Enclosed 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: 
#1 - it had been previously occupied, 
#2 - there wasn't any heat, and 
#3 - it was entirely too large.' 
Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately 
returned the check for $250 with the following note: 
  
'Dear Sir: 
#1 - I cannot understand how you could expect a 
beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. 
#2 - As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you 
know how to turn it on. 
#3 - 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. 
So, Please send the rent in full or we will be forced 
to contact your present landlady... !!
