true story
The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited..
>>
>> Their weekend assignment was to sell something, 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. 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 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? I used the President Obama method of giving you some crap,
>> 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 assignment.
