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