A little old
man answered a knock on the door one day, only to be dealing with a very
well-dressed young man in a navy blue
pinstriped suit, red silk tie, white shirt, shoes polished like black mirrors,
and carrying a vacuum cleaner.
"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."
"Get
lost, Mister fancy suit!" said the old man. "I haven't got any
money" and he proceeded to close the door.
Quick as a
flash, the young man wedged his polished shoe in the door and pushed it wide
open.
"Don't
be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my
demonstration."
The old man
again told him to get lost. And with that, the young man emptied a bucket of
mud all over his hallway carpet.
"If
this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this mess from your carpet,
Sir, I will personally eat the remainder.
"I got
a better idea" said the old man, looking the young man up and down
"If you don't clean it all up, I'll swap those fancy clothes of yours for
my overalls."
"Fine,
sir!" said the young man confidently.
"That
fancy suit and tie are gonna look good
on me!" said the old man."But take them shoes off first!"
"But
sir! I haven't demonstrated the vacuum yet!"
"Yes, you
have. The electricity is not working"
