Yesterday I answered a knock on the door, only to be
 confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner..
 

'Good morning,' said the young man. 'If I could
 take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the
 very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners.
 
''Go away!' I said. 'I haven't got any
 money!', 'I'm broke!' and proceeded to close the door.
 Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed
  it wide open.
 

'Don't be too hasty!' he said. 'Not until you have at least seen my
 demonstration'.
 
And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto my hallway
 carpet.

 'If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse
 manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder.'

 I stepped back and said, 'Well I hope you've got a darned good appetite,
 because they cut off my electricity this morning.
 
What part of broke do you not understand?'
