A furniture dealer from Newfoundland decided that he wanted to
expand the lineof furniture in his store, so he decided to go
to Paris, France to see what he could find.
After arriving in Paris (this being his first trip ever to
the French capitol), he met with some manufacturers and
finally selected a line that he thought would sell well back
home in Newfoundland.

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 one 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 he did not
understand), and motioned toward the chair. He invited her to
sit down. He tried to speak to her in English, but she did
not speak his language so, 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, and 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, he has
no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business.
