An enthusiastic door-to-door vacuum salesman goes to the first house in his new territory. He knocks and a really mean and tough looking lady opens the door. Before she has a chance to say anything, he runs inside and dumps cow chips all over the carpet. (For those of you in the city, that's cow shit, which, when it hits the ground, forms into big shit-pancakes that later dry and turn hard.)
He says, "Lady, if this vacuum cleaner don't do wonders cleaning this up, I'll eat every one of these patties."
She turns to him with a smirk and says, "Do you want ketchup or maple syrup on them?"
The salesman says, "Why kind of answer is that?"
She says, "We just moved into this house and our electricity is not turned on yet!"
