> Eugene, a furniture dealer from St. John's Newfoundland , 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 bistro and have a glass of wine. As he sat enjoy ing 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 Eugene couldn't 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 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, Eugene has no idea
> how she figured out he was in the furniture business.
