BUYING A HAT

A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat. As she was very fussy1, it took her a long time to pick on one. Already at the end of his patience2 the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter3 her: "An excellent choice, madam. You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!" To his dismay4, the lady took off her hat at once and said: "I don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off. Show me some more hats!"
