Vacuum Cleaner
Salesman
When I say I'm broke... I'm BROKE!
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 of 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've got a darned good appetite, because the electricity was cut off this
morning.”
