THE SALESMAN
"I despise salesmen," Matilda informed her Aunt Harriet.
"Especially house-to-house salesmen."
"Why?" inquired Aunt Harriet.
"because I hate being cheated".
"I have bought brushes. and cosmetics from salesmen and I haven't had any problems," said Aunt Harriet."
"Well, I have been sold too many useless and worthless things. A vacuum cleaner that blows instead of sucks, an electric heater that shorts out the fuses, a set of stainless steel pots and pans that rast.... "
"Is that why you have the sign outside, SALESMEN NOT ALLOWED!?"
"Yes, that sign is the only practical thing I ever bought from a salesman!"
