The salesman

    It was the old story of a salesman finding himself stranded in the
country and knocking on the door of the only pub in town.

    "Well, we don't have a spare room," said the proprietor, "but you
are welcome to share with the little red-headed school teacher if you
like."

    The salesman could hardly contain his excitement. "Oh thanks. I will
be a real gentleman."

    "That's good," said the publican. "So's the little red-headed school
teacher!"
