Bubba the Furniture Man....
Bubba, a furniture dealer from High Point, North Carolina, decided to expand the line of furniture in his store so he traveled 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 North Carolina . To celebrate the new acquisition he decided to visit a small cafe 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.
