One Night Stand


A decent man met a beautiful girl and agreed
to spend the night with 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 the office he regretted what he
had done, realizing that the whole event was
not worth the price. So he had his secretary
send a check 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:

It had never been occupied.

There was plenty of heat.

It was small enough to make me cozy and at
home.

Last night, 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 $250.00 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
