The kids filed into class monday morning eager to present their weekend project on salesmanship.
First up was Mary. I sold Girl Scout cookies and made $30. I appealed to the publics civil mindedness and credit that with my results.
Excellent said the teacher.
Next up was Debbie. I sold magazines and made $45. my sales pitch was staying up with current events.
Good job Debbie.
Finally it was Johnny's turn.
The teacher wondered about the box he carried to her desk.
Johnny dumped the box exclaiming $2467!!!
$2467 what on earth did you sell? she asked.
I set up a chip and dip stand on the busiest corner in town said Johhny. I gave every body that came by a free sample. They all said this tastes like dog poop. I told them it is dog poop and sold them a toothbrush. I used the Obama method : Dress it up to look good, tell you it's free then make you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth.
