a vacume cleaner salesman in a large 'White Front' type department store, is about to give a demonstration on the new 'smart' vac which sucks in everything not currently listed on the customizeable whitelist software. there are three people watching the demonstration: an overweight white woman in late 40's who tries to fit into young girls fashions; a meek grandmother type; an older English gentleman in a tie and sweater and carrying a cane and umbrella.
The demonstration begins and quickly empties the department store of everything, sucking anything off the walls, floors and ceilings except the four people and the smart vac. the salesman clicks off the power to the machine, and as it powers down it makes a strange noise.
the salesman drops to one knee, lifts up his arms and with a big smile he asks "well what did you think?"
the overweight white woman, completely oblivious to the point at hand and not to mention the place is completely spotless, says "it makes a funny noise." and she walks away.
the salesman is still on one knee with with his arms lifted up, but his smile is diminishing.
the meek grandmother, looking around and obviously notices something, but just keeps nodding her head and says "hmmm. ..... hmmm. .... umm huh." then just walks away.
the salesman's smile is a bit of a frown now and he asks "but what about ?"
the elderly English gentleman walks up and taps the salesman on the shoulder with his umbrella and says "i thought the funny noise ... was ... very funny. yes."
