When a mother of a teenage daughter advertised to rent out a room in her flat, and a young man carrying a portable manual typewriter applied, the lady looked him over and said, “But you are a man!” The man looked down his pants then at the lady and said, “Yes, I know! Do you discriminate?” And the lady responded, “OH, no!” So the lady let him in and showed him the room and facilities. The man then said, “Very nice! I shall take it, and I am ready to move in.” But the lady said, “Not so fast, young man! First, I have to take your reference.”
The young man simply smiled, set up his portable manual typewriter on the dining table and started typing; while the lady just stood there, looking in amazement. After a few minutes when the young man handed her a sheet of paper, the lady asked, “And what is this?” The young man replied, “My reference, of course!” Immediately, the lady objected and said, “But you just wrote your own reference, yourself!” The young man smiled again and said, “Yes, I know that! But who knows me, more than me?”
