Happy Friday friends and I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. :)
Little Johnny.............
The kids filed back into class Monday morning.
They were very excited. Their weekend
assignment was to sell something, then give a
talk on productive salesmanship.
Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and
I made $30," she said proudly, "My sales
approach was to appeal to the customer's civil
spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious
success." "Very good," said the teacher.
Little Mary was next: "I sold magazines," she
said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone
that magazines would keep them up on
current events. " "Very good, Mary" said the
teacher
Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The
teacher held her breath ... Little Johnny walked
to the front of the classroom and dumped a box
full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he
said. "$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the
world were you selling?"
"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.
"Toothbrushes!" echoed the teacher, "How
could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to
make that much money?"
"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little
Johnny. "I set up a Dip & Chip stand and gave
everybody who walked by a free sample." They
all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog
crap!" Then I would say,"It is dog crap. Wanna'
buy a toothbrush?"
"I used the Obama approach of giving you
something sh*itty for free, and then making you
pay to get the taste out of your mouth."
