Payment for Services
A young man met a beautiful girl and agreed to
spend the
nightwith 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 promised,
deciding that the whole event was not worth the price.
So, he had his secretary send acheck for
$250 and enclosed the following 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 it was small enough to make me cozy and feel at
home. Last night, however, I found it had been previously
occupied,
that there was no heat, and 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 heat 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 don't blame the landlady!
