Times are tough

When I say I'm broke, I mean it!

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, 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!' said the old lady. 'I'm broke and haven't got any money!'

and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door

and pushed it 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 her hallway carpet. 'Now, if this vacuum

cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your

carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder.'

The old lady stepped back and said, 'Well let me get you a fork, 'cause they cut off my electricity this morning!'

Another story with a moral.

Always carry an inverter and a long extension cord with you if you are a vacuum cleaner salesman.
