Little Johnny Does It Again

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
civic 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
andI explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on
currentevents."

"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 toothbrushes to make that much money?"

"I found the busiest corner in town", said Little Johnny, "I set up a
Dip & Chip stand and then I gave everybody who walked by a free
sample. They all said the same thing, Hey, this tastes just like dog
poop! Then I would say, It IS dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

Pausing, he continued, "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. Bless his heart.
