The kids filed into 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 and made $30.00. My sales approach was to appeal to the customers' civil spirit, and I credit that approach to my obvious success."
"Very good!" said the teacher.
Little Debbie was next. "I sold magazines and made $45.00. I explained to everyone that reading magazines would keep them up to date."
"Good job Debbie!" said the teacher.
Eventually, it was Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath while Johnny made his way to the front of the classroom. Johnny dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk.
"$1,487!" shouted Johnny.
"$1,487!?" cried the teacher. "What in the world were you selling?"
"Toothbrushes," answered Johnny.
"Toothbrushes? How in the world could you possibly make that much money selling tooth brushes?" asked the teacher.
Johnny explained, "I found the busiest corner in town. I set up a Dip and Chip stand and gave everyone that stopped by a sample. They all said the same thing, 'This tastes like dog poop!' Then I would say, "It is dog poop. Would you like to buy a toothbrush?"
Johnny went on, "I used Obama's method of giving you 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!"
Johnny received 5 Stars for his assignment. Bless his little heart!
