HOW TO SELL TOOTHBRUSHES

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 Jenny 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, Jenny," said the teacher.

Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn.

The teacher held her breath.

Little Joel 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 Joel.

"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 Joel, "I set up a
Dip & Chip stand.

I gave everybody who walked by a sample.

They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like horse manure!"

Then I would say, "It is horse manure. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

Actually, I made $3467, thank you very mooch. I will be bringing a case of toothbrushes to PF, in case you fergit to bring yourn.(Used, of course, but at a substantial discount.)

That's OK, Jim.......I'll make mine fresh on site...

Yea Joel, but considering what Jim does for a living, you have to eat an awful lot of hay or oats to reach the same quality of texture and fiber.       And between his shovel and trailer, I don't think you have a shot at matching quanity!
