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," 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 Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath . . . 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 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 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 crap!" Then I would say, “It is dog crap. Wanna' buy a toothbrush?"

"I used the Progressive approach of giving you something crappy for free, and then making you pay to get the taste out of your mouth."

A teacher goes around her class asking each of the kids what do they need at home.
1st kid says "A computer".
Teacher replies "That'd be very useful."
2nd kid says "a new lawn mower" and gets a similar response.
Little Johnny pops up and says "At my house we don't need nothin."
The teacher asks him to think again carefully as everybody needs something.
Little Johnny replies, "No I'm sure." When my sister started going out with a Muslim, I remember my dad saying,
"Well, that's the last damned thing we need.."
