When I Say I'm Broke...i'm Broke! 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 haven't got any money, I'm broke!"
As she proceeded to close the door, 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 her hallway carpet.
"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 I hope you've got a damned good appetite,
because they cut off my electricity this morning."
