The Bachelor

[Woodmonkey]

My cousin, a perpetual bachelor, owned one of the biggest and
fastest-growing businesses in Miami, a furniture store. I convinced him
that he needed to take a trip to Italy to visit a manufacturer and check
out the merchandise himself. And maybe he could meet an available young
Italian women.

As he was checking into a hotel he struck up an acquaintance with a
beautiful young lady. She only spoke Italian and he only spoke
English--neither understood a word the other spoke. So he took out a pencil
and a notebook and drew a picture of a taxi. She smiled, nodded her head
and they went for a ride in the park. Later, he drew a picture of a table
in a restaurant with a question mark and she nodded. So they went to dinner.

After dinner he sketched two dancers and she was delighted. They went to
several nightclubs, drank champagne, danced and had a glorious evening. It
had gotten quite late when she motioned for the pencil and drew a picture
of a four-poster bed.

He was dumbfounded. To this day he says that he's never been able to
understand how she knew he was in the furniture business.
