Nor'Dakota Ole....

Ole, a furniture dealer from up at Jamestown, ND, 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 dealers and selected a line that he thought would sell well back home.

To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to stop in a bistro to have a glass of wine. As he sat enjoying his wine, he noticed that the small place was quite crowded, and that the only vacant seat in the house was the other chair at his table.

Before long, a very beautiful young girl came to his table and asked him something in French, which Ole recognized but couldn't understand. Nevertheless, he motioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down.

After a couple of fruitless minutes of trying to talk with her, he took a napkin and drew a picture of a wine glass and showed it to her.

She nodded, so he ordered her a glass of wine.

After sipping wine 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 bar and found a quiet restaurant where a trio were 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 restaurant closed and the musicians were packing up.

Back at their table, the young lady smiled, took a napkin, and drew a picture of a four-poster bed.

To this day, Ole has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business.
