When I'm broke, I'm broke
**

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day; to be confronted by
a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.
'Good morning,' said the young man. 'If I could take a couple minutes of your
time. I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum
cleaners...
'Go away!' said the old lady. ''I'm broke and 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.
''Now; 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 let me get you a fork*,* 'cause they
cut off my electricity this morning."
