Apartment rental (Rev: 1.0)

A man met a beautiful lady, and she agreed to spend the night with him for $500. So, they spent the night together. In the morning before he left, he told the lady 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 "Apartment Rental".

On the way to the office, he regretted what he had done, realizing that the whole event was not worth the price. So, he sent a check of $250 and enclosed a note:

Dear Madam,

Enclosed you will find a check in the amount of $250 for the rental of your apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon because when I rented the apartment, I was under the below impression:

1. It had never been occupied
2. There was plenty of heat
3. It was small enough to make me cozy and feel at home

Last night, however, I found out that it had been previously occupied. There wasn't any heat, and that it was entirely too large.


Upon receipt of the check and note, the lady immediately sent back the following reply:

Dear Sir,

First of all, I cannot understand how you expect such 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. However, if you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please don't blame the landlord.
