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 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.

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....

Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle
