Furniture Business

Luigi, a perpetual bachelor, owned one of the biggest and fastest-growing furniture
manufacturing shops in Brisbane. Friends convinced him that he needed to take a trip
to Italy to check out the latest trends there, and maybe he could meet an available
young Italian woman at the same time.
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 he's never been able to understand how
she knew he was in the furniture manufacturing business.
