The manager of the furniture shop had earned a small bonus, so he decided to spend it on a weekend in Paris.
When he got back the sub manager asked him "How did you get on? And you not speaking a word of the language...?"
"Oh it was fine," said the manager. "There was this lovely young lady I met in the park. OK we couldn't understand a word the other was saying, but we got on all right. I took out a notebook and a pencil, and first I drew a picture of a taxi, so we went for a drive. Then I drew a picture of plates with food, so we went to a restaurant. After the meal I drew a picture of two people dancing, so we went to a night club. At the end of the evening she took the notebook from me and drew a picture of a double bed...."
"Remarkable!" said the sub manager. "She'd even figured out you were in the furniture business."
