Sofa Shopping
Published Mar 10, 2004
Two young women went into a furniture store and asked to be directed to the sofa department. The salesman who greeted them was a chauvinistic good ol' boy who knew that his chances of making a sale were always much better when dealing with a married couple. Still, he reluctantly began showing them the sofas, settees and love seats.
"What we're really looking for is an upholstered footstool that's long and wide," one woman admitted.
"Oh, I might have known," responded the salesman, "but I don't think either of you are going to be able to find anything like that.
(are you ready ....)
I've always felt a woman can't get a long width ottoman."
