After arriving in Paris he met with some manufacturers and selected a line
that he thought would sell well back home in North Carolina. To celebrate
the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small cafe and have a glass of
wine. As he sat enjoying his wine, he noticed that the small place was
quite crowded, and that the 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 to 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. And to this day, Bubba has no idea how she figured out
he was in the furniture business.
