 Bubba, a furniture dealer from Arkansas, decided
  to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he
  decided to go to Paris to see what he could find.
  After arriving in Paris he met with some
  manufacturers and selected a line that he thought
  would sell well back home in Arkansas.

  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 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, Bubba has no idea how she figured
  out he was in the furniture business.
