Little Johnny understands the program and will do well
as a capitalist.
HOW TO SELL TOOTHBRUSHES
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.
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?"
"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 and gave everybody
who walked by a free sample."
They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes
like dog poop!"
Then I would say,"It is dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"
"I used the government's strategy of giving you
something poopty for free, and then making you pay to get
that taste out of your mouth."
