The kids filed back into class on monday morning. They were very excited. Thier 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 proudly proclaimed, my sales approach was to appeal to the customers civil spirt and I credit that approach for my obvious sucess. Very good said the teacher.
Little Jenny was next, I sold magazines , she said, I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current events. Very good said the teacher.
Eventually it was little Johnnys turn, the teacher held her breath, Little Johnny walked to the front of the class room and dumped a box full of cash on the teachers desk. $2467, he said, $2467! cried the teacher,What in the world were you selling? Tooth brushes he said. Tooth brushes? How in the world could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make $2467? I found the busiest corner in town, I set up a chip and dip stand. I gave everyone who walked by, a free sample. They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like ****", it is **** I said, wanna buy a tooth brush?
