Murphy, the furniture dealer

Murphy, a furniture dealer from Hoboken, wanted to expand the line of furniture. 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 purchase, he decided to visit a small tavern and have a glass of wine.

At the crowded bistro, he sat enjoying his wine. There was the only vacant table in the house.

Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to his table. She asked him something in French (which Murphy could not understand). He motioned to the vacant table and invited her to sit down.

He tried to speak to her in English. She did not understand him. He took a napkin, 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. He drew a picture of a plate with food. She nodded.

They left the bistro and found a quiet restaurant 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 band stopped playing. Back at their table, the young woman took a napkin and drew a picture of a four-poster bed.

To this day, Murphy still cannot figure how she knew he was in the furniture business.
