A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat.As she was very fussy,it took her a long time to pick on one.Already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her:＂An excellent choice,madam.You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!＂ To his dismay,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!＂
