SALESMANSHIP

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.

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 civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success." "Very good," said the teacher.

Little Jenny 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, Jenny," said the teacher.

Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn.

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 tooth brushes to make that much money?"

"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample. They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like sh*t!" Then I would say, "It is sh*t. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

What are you doing this weekend?

I’ve decided that from now on I’m gonna answer every question like a presidential candidate. It’s kinda fun…

“Teacher, what are you doing this weekend?”

“That’s a great question — and an important one. And I WILL do something this weekend. But let me take a step back, and answer a broader question. What are we ALL doing this weekend? As a nation? As a world? This weekend, I will do something comprehensive and robust, yet fun. We all should.”

“But what are you doing?”

“What I’m gonna do involves three things. First, it’s gonna be relaxing; second, it’s gonna be enjoyable; lastly, I’m gonna make sure that it’s cost-effective and I don’t get into a deficit. Four weeks ago, I said I’d do something — and I did. This weekend will be no different.”

THE OLD MAN

An old man was eating in a truck stop when three bikers walked in.

The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spit into the old man's milk and then he took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter.

Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner.

Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?"

The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."

What's the similarity


What's the similarity between chewing gum and begum (wife) ?? Both are sweet at the beginning and become tasteless, shapeless and sticky in the end..

In an African safari

In an African safari, a lion suddenly bounced on Santa's wife. 
Wife: Shoot him! Shoot him! 
Santa: Yes, yes. I'm changing the battery in my camera..
