Buying A Mercedes

by Dianne

A retired older couple return to a Mercedes
 dealership where the salesman has just sold the car they
 were interested in to a beautiful, leggy, busty blonde in a
 mini skirt and a halter top.
 The old man was visibly upset. He spoke
 to the salesman sharply.
 "Young man, I  thought you said you would hold
 that car till we raised the £55,000 asking price,"
 said the older man.
 "Yet I just heard you closed the deal for £45,000 to
 the lovely young lady there."
 " And if I remember right, you had insisted there was
 no way you could discount this model."
 The salesman took a deep breath, cleared his throat and
 reached for a large glass of water.
 "Well, what can I tell you? She had the cash ready,
 didn't need any financing help, and, Sir, just look at
 her, how could I resist?", replied the grinning
 salesman sheepishly..
 Just then the young woman approached the senior couple and
 gave the car keys to the old man...
 "There you go," she said. "I told you I could
 get that idiot to lower the price...."
 "See you later, DADDY!!
