P'tite joke, en anglais

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 started having regrets about
what he had done. Realizing that the whole event had not been
worth the price, he had his secretary send a check
for $250 and enclose the following typed note:



Dear Madam:
Enclosed please find a check in the amount of $250 for rent
of your apartment. Please note that 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 - there was plenty of heat; and
#3 - it was small enough to make me feel cozy and at home.
However, upon occupancy I found 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 operate the thermostat.
#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, in closing, please send the agreed upon rent in full or
we will be forced to contact your present landlady.'
