Subject: FW: I want to  Send little Johnny to Washington

 

 Thanks to "Johnny" for forwarding this... 

Priceless.... 

  

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 poop!" 

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

I used the government approach of giving everyone something they think they want and 
then charging them for cleaning up the mess I caused. 

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