Grandpa Were a Smooth Talker

I were just a young'n when my grandpa worked for Jones Vacuum Cleaning Company and sometime he would take me with him as he made his calls. That's when I learned what a smooth talker he were. One of the things he done what softened up his customers right away was to take ever one of the womens a rose what come out of grandma's yard. When they wasn't growing he knowed a flower shop where he could get some kinda pretty flower. When he got into the living room he would look around and say something like, "I don't know why I come by here. You keep such a clean house anyway. I reckon the only use you would have for one of my vacuums would be to keep your hands looking as pretty as they do now." The womens most of the time would just melt into a giggling mass and almost always they would buy one or put some money down on one. Remember that man what did not have electricity; he even bought one 'cause when current come to his area the first thing he wanted to hear were one of them vacuums sucking up dirt.
