I can't believe how smart kids are now a days. Johnny demonstrated
that really good. Read the story.
The kids filed 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, I gave everybody who
walked by a free sample." They all said the same thing, "Hey, this
tastes like dog crap!" Then I would say, 'It is dog crap. Wanna buy a
toothbrush?' I used the President Obama method of giving you something crappy,
dressing it up so it looks good, telling you it's free, and then making you pay
to get the bad taste out of your mouth."
Little Johnny got five stars for his efforts, bless his heart.
