Joke No. 257

The Little Old Lady

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!" 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.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this
horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat
the remainder."

"Well," she said, "I hope you've got a good appetite because
the electricity was cut off this morning...."
