Hi TomK...Is it Areokat of Tomkat?
do you Dutch guys have anything like that over there or is it just us materialistic American types? Anyway, at one a lady told the guy-"I WANT IT, how much is it, what is it"- in that order.
Beautiful! And that coming from an American!
I lived in Vancoucer, Canada for 21 years. One of my colleges told me that a Dutchman can sell something to a Jew and still make a buck. Mind you I don't know of this is actually true, but with so many things in life I run with the crowd that runs like winners. This Canadian told me something about Americans as well.
Yes, in Holland we have such sale events frequently as well, but we cal then Basement Clean Out Sales. At one an American tourist from Texas comes along and says: -"I WANT IT, how much is it, what is it" in that order. Then the Dutchman says: "The price is 359,99 Euro". The American says" "What the hell is a URO worth? The Dutchie says: "It used to be a buck-25 but now is worth about half that, that’s why 359,99 Euro is a real bargain!
So, the Texan can't resist a bargain when he sees one. He pays his money with 2 crisp 100 US Dollar bills and says:"Keep the change"..."What is it?"
The Dutchman: Its all the stuff in the basement. You have to clean it out. Don't leave anything.....A deal is a deal!"
So, the American that got taken in Holland holds in Texas a Garage Sale one day to sell the imported junk from the basement in Holland, and he sees a Dutchman sniffing around. He wants to get back at the Dutch, just to get even, if nothing else. After some clapping of hands they make a deal for $ 34,95. "A deal is a deal" says the Dutchman.
The American says:"Now, what the hell did I sell you?"
"The garage" says the Dutchman. "I'll pick it up tomorrow"
