Brilliance

 

 

Talk about brilliance!

 

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.

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, Sally." said the teacher.

Mary 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, Mary." 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 teachers' desk. "$ 2,467.00." he said.

"$2,467.00?" 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 shit!' "

Then I would say, "It is dog shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush? I used the
governmental approach of giving people something shitty for free, and then making them pay to get the taste out of their mouths."
