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!" said the old lady. "I haven't got any money!" and she proceeded to close the door.
Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it 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 her hallway carpet.
"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I
will personally eat the remainder."
The old lady stepped back and said, "Well I hope you've got a good appetite, because they
cut off my electricity this morning."
