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’m
broke and 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.”
The old lady stepped back and said,
“Well, sonny, let me get you a fork. They cut off my electricity this morning.”
