Murphy the furniture dealer had often been asked if he had any French furniture so he went off to France and bought a load that he thought would sell.
He had a night to kill before returning home so he ended up in a bistro. There was no one sitting opposite him in what was a fairly crowded place when he was approached by a French girl.
She pointed at the empty seat and Murphy beckoned to her to sit down.
Having failed to talk to her in English, he took a napkin and drew a wine glass on it and the girl nodded favorably so he bought her wine. He then drew a dinner plate on another napkin and again the girl nodded favorably, so he took her off to a restaurant and bought her a fine dinner.
When dinner was over the girl took a napkin and drew a four poster bed on it, and to this day Murphy is still baffled as to how she knew he sold furniture.
