An enthusiastic door-to-door vacuum salesman goes to the first house in his new territory. He knocks, a real mean and tough looking lady opens the door, and before she has a chance to say anything, he runs inside and dumps cow patties, soot, flower and pine needles all over the carpet.
He says, "Lady, if this vacuum cleaner don't do wonders cleaning this up, I'll eat every bit of it."
She grabs a rolling pin, and while smacking it into her palm, nudges the door closed and leans against it.
Then she turns to him with a smirk and asks,
"Do you want ketchup with that?"
The salesman says, "Why do you ask?"
She says, "We fell too far behind in paying the electricity bill, and after I beat up their collector, they turned off the electricity a couple of days ago." |
