Discovery in the Warehouse

They were rummaging around in the Warehouse for a good hour, when George discovered something covered with dust, leaning against the wall. George asked the owner of the shop if he had a brush, and the owner gave him one, and he brushed away a quarter inch of dust, from what looked like a shield carved on a door!

And what he saw engraved on the shield were the words written in Latin!

(A DOOR TO ANYWHERE)

When he saw that he called Mary over to look at it. When she saw it, she took the brush from George, and started uncovering another part of the door. It was engraved with what looked like ivy leaves all over the rest of the door. Mary smiled at George, and said, "I've just got to have this." She called the shop owner over and asked, "What do you want for this old door?"

He scratched his bald head, smiled, "I've never noticed it before, but it's got to be real old. What will you pay for it?"

And that's when the haggling started. Mary offered him a thousand dollars for it, and he didn't cave in until she reached 3,500!

And of course he took that amount!
