Bubba Goes to France
Bubba, a furniture dealer from North Carolina, wanted to expand the line of
furniture in his store. Although he had never traveled outside the USA, he
decided to go to Paris to get some ideas. After arriving in the French city
he met with some manufacturers and selected a line that he thought would
sell well back home.
To celebrate the new acquisition he visited a small bistro and had a glass
of wine. The small place was quite crowded, and he noticed 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, he took a napkin, 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 awhile, 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.
To this day, Bubba has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture
business.
