Story about an antique dealer

Continued from yesterday....

My former boss, who liked antiques, told me this story.

There was an antique dealer roaming the countryside, hoping to find antique furniture in a farmer's barn or shed.

He stumbled upon one, and in the process of negotiating a price, he told the farmer "well, that furniture isn't good for anything except firewood". They settled on a price, and the dealer said he would be there the next day to pick it up.

When he returned, he was shocked to find the furniture hacked up. The farmer said "well, you told me it was only good for firewood, so I thought I would help you out".

HA

I found it amusing. Perhaps you will also.
