Can an eighty-year-old washerwoman become a famous model? Most definitely. The entire nation of France has fallen in love with La Mere Denis, who describes herself as a "fat old woman." Her wrinkled, almost toothless COUNTENANCE smiles out at the French citizenry from every TV set and magazine. This homely face appears on billboards, subway posters, and even on the backs of buses. All over France, the face of La Mere Denis can be found in ads.
What product does she advertise? A washing machine, that's what! Who could better tell of the virtues and wonders of a modern washing machine than a woman who has washed clothes for decades? The ads state that a person should have the same confidence in the machine that one used to have in the old washerwoman. These ads have helped to skyrocket sales of the company's washing machine.
To show its appreciation for the contribution La Mere Denis has made to its sales, the washing machine company offered her the bonus of a new washing machine. This offer was politely refused. The reason? La Mere Denis said, "I wouldn't know how to work it. Even if I did, the nearest water is in the stream I wash my clothes in. What would be the sense?"
