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 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 poop!”
Then I would say, “It is dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush?”
“I used the government’s strategy of giving you some free crap, and then making you pay to get that taste out of your mouth.”
Funny joke haha. I love little Johnny.
Albert, have some humor.
yeah Albert, ’cause we all know there’s no waste in government, and the only people applying for government aide are hard working people down on their luck. They, of course, will get off the tax-payers back once they get on their feet again.
Free crap? Like health care? Or food assistance? Yeah, I’ll bet those old and sick people who need those things just think it’s awful that someone wants to give it away, for free. Yeah.
