Funny: The daft Irish furniture dealer

Murphy,  a furniture dealer from Dublin, decided to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he decided to go to Paris to see what he could find.

After arriving in Paris, he visited with some manufacturers and  selected a line that he thought would sell well back home.

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 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 Murphy couldn’t understand). So he motioned to the vacant  chair and invited her to sit down. He  tried to speak to her in  English, but she did not speak his  language. 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 to her. She nodded, so 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. 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 poor Murphy has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business…
