Jackie Burdette
/Jackie's In Town
"Where are you going to, my pretty maid?"
"I'm not going anywhere," said JACKIE BURDETTE, "I've only just arrived. Are you a policeman?"
“As a matter of fact, no. I'm"
“Then if you're not a policeman, take your foot out of my doorway."
"I'm selling ceiling sweepers”.
"Who wants ceiling sweepers?" said Jackie. "I don't. I'm a shirt designer and you've interrupted me in the middle of the most inspiring design I've ever thought up. What's that little stepladder you're carrying?”
"Ah well, you see, with our ceiling sweepers we offer these mini step ladders at the most fantastically ludicrous price. Practically giveaway, in fact. I say, you're not making tea, I suppose?"
"No. I’m not said Jackie. "What's the connection between ridiculous little stepladders and ceiling sweepers?"
"Well, you need the stepladder to reach the ceiling. We design them specially to give that extra bewitching look to girls using the ceiling sweepers in mini-skirts."
"These boots I'm wearing," said Jackie, "are specially made to assist the precipitate departure of men selling ceiling sweepers”.
"Don't do anything hasty I'll come back tomorrow."
