Salesman's Gimmick

[Elawletle]

A man is looking in the classified ads for a job. He notices an advertisement for a toothbrush salesman and figured that couldn't be such a bad job. So, he calls in, he goes in and they hire him. The next day, he heads out to a neighborhood to make some sales. Five hours later he comes home and says, "Man, I only sold one toothbrush. That's not enough."

So the next day he goes to a richer neighborhood, thinking maybe those people would buy more toothbrushes. He ends up selling two toothbrushes. So he goes to his boss for advice and hisboss says, "Look, you're a great guy and all, but you gotta come up with a gimmick or something."

So the salesman thinks about it, and the next day he sets up a booth near the subway with a sign that says "Free chips and dip." A guy walks over and scoops up some dip and says, "Ugh, this tastes like shit." The salesman replies, "'Cause it is. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"
