WHEN I SAY I'M BROKE...I'M BROKE!!
Yesterday I answered a knock on the
door, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a
vacuum cleaner.
'Good morning,' said the young man. 'If
I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to
demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners.'
'Go away!' I said. 'I haven't got any
money!', 'I'm broke!' and proceeded to close the door.
Quick as a flash, the young man wedged
his foot in the door and pushed wide open. 'Don't be too hasty!' he
said. 'Not until you have at least seen my demonstration.' And with
that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto my hallway carpet.
'If this vacuum cleaner does not remove
all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Sir, I will personally
eat the remainder.'
I stepped back and said, 'Well I hope
you've got a good appetite, because they cut off my electricity
this morning. What part of 'broke' do you not understand?'
