A furniture dealer from Arkansas 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 Arkansas.
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 didn't speak
his language so, after a couple of minute! s 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. So, they left the bistro and found a quiet cafe
that featured a small group playing romantic music.
They ordered dinner, and after 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
