They were very excited. <Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on <productive salesmanship. <Little Mary 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 Sally was next: "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I <explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current <events." <"Very good, Sally," 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?" <"Tooth brushes," said Little Johnny. <"Tooth brushes," 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 shit! Then I would say, It is shit. Wanna <buy <a toothbrush?" < _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
