"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." |
