A man was down on his luck and in desperate need of a job.
He saw an advertisement in the newspaper for a job in sales. He didn’t know anything about sales but figured he could learn, so he contacted the company.
“It’s very simple,” said the hiring manager. “You go door-to-door selling toothbrushes. Everyone needs a toothbrush, you should be able to sell lots of them.”
The man agreed and went out to a large housing tract for the day. When he returned to the office, he was asked how his day went.
“I sold one toothbrush,” he said.
The hiring manager was not happy. “Look, I know it’s your first day in sales, so I’ll forgive it this time. But you gotta sell more than one if you want to keep your job.”
The next day, the man went to another neighborhood. When he returned to the office at the end of the day, he said, “I sold two toothbrushes today!”
Now the hiring manager was furious. “It is far from enough! You have one more day to get this right. If you don’t sell a lot more tomorrow, you’re fired.”
When the man came back to the office at the end of the next day, he was again asked how he did. “I sold 1500 toothbrushes!” he announced.
“Oh my God!” said the hiring manager. “That’s amazing. It’s more than anyone has ever sold in one day before. How did you do it?”
“Well,” he began, “I went to a grocery store and set up a table outside with some chips and some dip. And I asked people to try them. They would taste it and say, ‘This dip tastes like s-h.it!”
And I would say, “It is! Would you like to buy a toothbrush?”
LOL!! A dumb joke is still a good, funny joke!
A salesman was going door to door trying to sell his wares.
A salesman was going door to door trying to sell his wares.
As he walked up to the next house, he noticed a small boy sitting on the front steps.
“Is your mother home?” the salesman asked the small boy.
“Yeah, she’s home,” the boy said, scooting over to let him pass.
The salesman rang the doorbell, got no response, knocked once, then again.
Still, no one came to the door.
Turning to the boy, the fellow said, “I thought you said your mother was home?!”
The kid replied, “She is, but this isn’t where I live.”
