> 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 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 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,

> 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, Murphy has no idea how she figured out he was in the
> furniture business!
