Broke means Broke

Yesterday I answered a knock on the door, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" I said. "I haven't got any money!", "I'm broke!"

and I proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and
pushed it wide open. "Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at
least seen my demonstration." And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure on to my hallway carpet.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse
manure from your carpet, Sir, I will personally eat the remainder."

I stepped back and said:

"Well I hope you've got a good appetite, because they cut off my
electricity this morning.
What part of broke didn't you understand!!??"
