An electric vacuum cleaner

An electric vacuum  cleaner sales man appeared at the door
of an old lady's bungallow and, without
allowing the woman to speak, rushed into
the living room and threw a large bag of
dirt all over her clean carpet.
He said, "If this new vacuum doesn't pick
up every bit of dirt then I'll eat all the
dirt."
The woman, who by this time was losing
her patience, said,
"Sir, if I had enough money to buy that
thing, I would have paid my NEPA bill
before they cut it off. Now, what would
you prefer, a spoon or a knife and fork?"
