The kids all filed into the class Monday morning. They were all very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something and then give a talk on salesmanship. Little Sally led off. " I sold Girl Scout cookies & 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. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom & dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. " 2,467," he said. " 2467!" 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?" " I found the busiest corner in town," said little Johnny, I set up a Dip & Chip stand and I gave everybody a free sample." They would all say the same thing, " Hey , this tastes like dog poop!" Then I would say, ' it is dog poop. wanna buy a toothbrush?" I used the President Obama method of giving you some crap, dressing it up to look good, telling you it's free, and then making you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth." Little Johnny got 5 stars for his assignment. Bless his heart.
