Murphy

[greenlands]

Murphy, a furniture dealer from Dublin, 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 visited with some

manufacturers and selected a line that he thought would sell well back

home. To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small bar

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 Murphy could not understand), so he motioned to the vacant chair

and invited her to sit down. He tried to speak to her in English but she

did not speak his language. 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, so 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 bar and found a quiet bistro 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 bistro 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 on it. To this day, Murphy has no

idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business.
