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, I gave everybody who walked by a free sample."

They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog crap!"

Then I would say,"It is dog crap. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

"I used the governmental approach of giving you something crappy that they say is good, and then making

you pay to get the crappy taste out of your mouth."

The teacher was speechless. . . . . . . .

Yep.

ew

I enjoyed the joke until you brought the government in. I thought we were discouraged by the rules from that sort of thing here.

I think this could apply to any number of regulatory agencies in any number of countries/regimes

Makes no difference to my observation. All politics.

Teehehehehe, that's funny ;)

Clever little Johnny... :)

This was hilarious and sooooo true. Hope you don't mind that I copied and pasted it in an email to hubby. Thanks for sharing.

It's "just" a joke!
