And here another joke. I know Fireflyer probably knows this one but I am the faster posterer (or how do you say? "poster child"?)
Subject: Rent is Due!
A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend
the afternoon 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 regretted what he had
done, realizing that the whole event had not been
worth the price. So he had his secretary send a check
for $250 and enclose the following typed note:
"Dear Madam Enclosed find a check for $250 for rent of your apartment.
I am not sending the amount agreed upon because when I rented the place,
I was under the impression that - it had never been occupied - there was
plenty of heat; and- it was small enough to make me feel 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, I cannot understand how you could 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
management.
Please send the rent in full or we will be forced to
contact your present landlady
