               PLEASURE FOR BOTH BUT THE MAN PAYS 



One evening, after attending a theater, two gentlemen were walking
down the avenue.  They observed a rather well dressed and attractive
lady walking just ahead of them.  One of the men turned to the other
and remarked, "I'd give $50 to spend the night with that women."  To
their surprise the women overheard the remark and, turning around, she 
said, "I'll take you up on that."  She had a neat appearance and a 
pleasant smile, so after bidding his companion goodnight, the man
accompanied the lady to her apartment, where they immediately went to
bed.

The following morning the man presented her with $25 and prepared to
leave.  She demanded the rest of her money, stating "If you don't give
me the other $25, I'll sue you for it."  He laughed, saying, "I'd like
to see you get it on those grounds."

The next day he was surprised when he received a summons ordering his
presence in court as defendant in a law suit.  He hurried to his lawyer,
explaining the details of the case.  His lawyer said, "She can't 
possibly get a judgement against you on such grounds, but it will be
interesting to see how her case is presented."

After the usual preliminaries, the lady's lawyer addressed the court 
as follows, "Your Honor, my client, this lady here, is the owner of a
piece of property, a garden spot surrounded by a profuse growth of 
shrubbery, which she agreed to rent the defendant for a specified
length of time, for the sum of $50.  The defendant took possession
of the property, used it extensively for which it was rented, but 
upon evacuation of the premises, he paid only $25, which is one half
of the amount agreed upon.  The rent was not excessive since it is
restricted property, and we ask judgement be granted against the 
defendant to assure payment of the balance due."

The defendant's lawyer was impressed and amused at the way his opponent
presented the case.  His defense, therefore, was somewhat altered from 
the way he originally planned to present it.

"Your Honor, my client agreed that the young lady has a fine piece of 
property, and that he did rent it for a time, and a degree of pleasure
was derived from the transaction, however, my client found a well on
the property around which he placed his own stones, sunk a shaft and 
erected a pump, all labor performed personally by him.  We claim these
improvements to the property were sufficient to offset the unpaid 
balance, and that the plaintiff was adequately compensated for the 
rental of said property.  We, therefore, ask that judgement not be
granted."

The young lady's lawyer replied with this statement:
"Your Honor, my client agrees with the defendant that he did find a well
on her property and that he did make improvements such as my opponent
described, however, had the defendant not known the well existed, he
would never have rented the property.  Also, upon evacuating the 
premises, the defendant removed the stones, pulled out the shaft, and
took the pump with him.  In doing so, he not only dragged his 
equiptment through the shrubbery, but he left the hole much larger
than it was prior to the occupancy, making it easily accessible to 
little children."

THE YOUNG LADY WON THE CASE!!
