ALABAMA furniture dealer
ALABAMA furniture dealer
A furniture dealer from Alabama decided that he wanted to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he decided to go to Paris, France to see what he could find.
After arriving in Paris (this being his first trip ever to the French capitol), he met with some manufacturers and finally selected a line that he thought would sell well back home in Alabama.
To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit
a small bistro and have a glass of wine. As he sat enjoying
his wine, he noticed that the small place was quite crowded, and that the one other chair at his table was the only
vacant seat in the house.
Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to
his table, asked him something in French (which he did not understand), and motioned toward the chair.
He invited her to sit down.
He tried to speak to her in English, but she did not speak
his language so, after a couple of minutes of trying to communicate with her, he took a napkin and drew a picture
of a wine glass and showed it her. She nodded, and he
ordered a glass of wine for her.
After sitting together at the table for a while, he took another napkin, and drew a picture of a plate with food on it, and she nodded. They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that
featured a small group playing romantic music.
They ordered dinner, after which he took another napkin
and drew a picture of a couple dancing. She nodded, and
they got up to dance. They danced until the cafe closed
and the band was packing up.
Back at their table, the young lady took a napkin and
drew a picture of a four-poster bed.
To this day, he has no idea how she figured out he was
in the furniture business.
