Door Salesmen

WHEN I SAY I'M BROKE...I'M BROKE!!

Yesterday I answered a knock on the door, only to be confronted by a
well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

'Good morning,' said the young man. 'If I could take a couple of minutes
of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered
vacuum cleaners.'

'Go away!' I said. 'I haven't got any money!', 'I'm broke!' and proceeded
to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed
wide open. 'Don't be too hasty!' he said. 'Not until you have at least
seen my demonstration.' And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure
onto my hallway carpet.

'If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure
from your carpet, Sir, I will personally eat the remainder.'

I stepped back and said, 'Well I hope you've got a good appetite,
because they cut off my electricity this morning.

If one of my posts looks serious it is always a good idea to read it again to make sure

Not to far removed from the truth that story.I know of one family that it happened to.Two brothers and a sister that lived on Lonesdale St.Maybe someone can remember the family name but going back 40 yrs.
They did not have the electric turned off, they still had Gas Mantle lighting and no Electric at all.

Am I that old?

Both brothers worked in the railway yard bottom of Charter St.Think they were called Wright but not sure.
