Here is a story of a young naive R.O. This young bod on his first visit to Hamburg, met a lovely looking Frauleine, took her out , wined and dined her and then spent the night with her. Before he left in the morning he said to her " I had a very enjoyable stay with you" , and gave her 20 pounds. She did not look very appreciative, so he said " Are you not happy with the 20 pounds ? " and she 
replied " Yes, I am but I would have preferred marks " He put the 20 pounds back in his pocket and then replied " Well , how about nine out of ten ? " !!
