TO BOOST SALES, IRISH FURNITURE DEALER VISITS PARIS SEEKING NEW DESIGNS FOR BEDROOMS

———————-——————-

Murphy,a furniture dealer from Dublin, decided to expand his line of beds. He was looking for some new exotic designs, especially in beds to help boost sales. So, he decided to go to Paris to see what he could find. After arriving in Paris, he visited a well known manufacturer and selected from what 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 could not understand; so, he motioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down.

He tried to speak to her in his rich Irish brogue, but she could not understand a word he said. 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, Murphy has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business.
