The Bookseller

A guy with a speech impediment --- he stutters – gets a job selling books door-to-door. On his first day, the sales manager gives him some books and sends him out and a five o’clock the salesman returns with all receipts, no books.The second day, the sales manager loads him up with more books than the firs day and sends him out. The salesman, returns at five o’clock with all the receipts, no books.This goes on for a few days, and the sales manager calls him in and says, “This is truly amazing,” “In a few days you have sold more books than my top salesman does in a week. What’s your sales pitch?”“W-w-well,” says the salesman, “I s-s-say, ‘D-d-do, y-y-you w-w-want t-t-to b-b-buy a b-b-b-book or d-d-do y-y-you w-want m-me t-to r-read it t-to y-you?
