A man went to a car showroom in Paralimni. âI need to buy a 2nd hand car to use for my daily commute to Nicosiaâ he told the salesman. âWhat cars can you recommend?â âWellâ said the salesman, âHere are three cars that you might want to choose from. A Mercedes for â¬9,000, a BMW for â¬5,000 and a Skoda for â¬1,900â âWell I know nothing about carsâ admitted the customer. âI just want something that will get me to work and back without any inconvenience. Can you please just tell me in very simple terms, the difference between them.â âOkâ said the salesman. âIf you leave home at 6:30am in the Mercedes you should easily be in Nicosia by 7:45. If youâre driving the BMW youâll be there by 8:15, but in the Skoda youâll get there around 8:45â âThatâs fineâ said the customer. âIâll take the Skodaâ âVery good sirâ said the salesman. âBut do you mind my asking why you decided so quickly?â âSimpleâ said the customer. âI donât start work âtil 9â
To add to that, from my experiences on the island, he probably finishes at 12 o'clock, lunch time too!
Haha, Cyprus seems like a nice place. There was a girl at my old work place who was a Cypriot, she was nice.
