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 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
civic 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?"

"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?"
