Shopping In Paris

Two sisters spent two weeks in Paris. The locals obviously hated Americans - no matter where they went, they were subject to rude behaviour from waiters, store clerks, pedestrians, etc. After a while it started to irritate them.

One day, in Paris, one sister went shopping. She entered a store and
started looking around. She was the only customer in the store. As she was looking through the clothes on the rack, a clerk hurriedly approached her and very abruptly asked if he could help her.

The sister was used to this bad treatment by now and she politely declined his help. She continued to look at the clothes. Then she noticed that every clerk in the store was staring at her.

Defiantly, she continued to look through the clothes. When she could take
this treatment no longer, she turned on her heels, with her head held high,
and left the shop.

As she left, she noticed that the sign on the store read "Dry Cleaners".
