Hope everyone had a great weekend. I've seen this one before - I may have even posted it before. But this time a political spin was added at the end, but I removed it so as not to offend.
The kids filed into class Monday morning and they were all very excited to give their reports.
The weekend assignment was to sell something, and then give a talk on 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 Debbie 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, Debbie," said the teacher.
Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn...as 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
toothbrushes to make that much money?"
"Well, I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny. "I set up a Dip & Chip stand, and I gave
everybody who walked by a free sample."
They all said the same thing: "Hey, this tastes like dog poop!"
Then I would say, "IT IS dog poop...wanna buy a toothbrush?"
