A
little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be
confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.
"Good
morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple
minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest
in high-powered vacuum cleaners."
"Go
away!" said the old lady. "I haven't got any money"
and she proceeded to close the door.
Quick
as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed
it wide open.
"Don't
be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen
my demonstration."
And
with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway
carpet.
"If
this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure
from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."
"Well,"
she said, "I hope you have a damned good appetite, because
the electricity was cut off this morning." |
