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 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 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.
