January Sales
Pete and Gladys were looking at a new living room suite
in the furniture store. Pete says to the salesman, "We
really like it, but I don't think we can afford it."
The salesman says, "You just make a small down payment...
then you don't make another payment for six months."
Gladys wheeled around with her hands on her hips and
says, "Who told you about us?"
