Selling Or Selling Smart?

A salesman sells his wares door to door in a huge high-rise building.

He knocks on a young man’s door and asks him: “Would you like to buy the latest toothbrush? Only ten dollars.”

“Ten dollars for a toothbrush!” shouts the man. “What idiot would pay ten dollars for a toothbrush? You’re out of your mind.”

“Well then,” the salesman continues, “how about a freshly baked brownie for a dollar?” The man thinks and says, “Okay, why not?”

The salesman hands him the brownie. The man takes a bite and spits it out on the floor of the aisle.

“God, it tastes like shit!” he exclaims.

“That’s because it tastes like shit,” the salesman explains. “And would you be interested in a toothbrush?”

They Say Men Don’t Listen To Women

A man asked his wife what she wanted for her 40th birthday.

“I’d like to be six again,” she replied.

On the morning of her birthday, he woke her up early and they went to a local amusement park.

What a day! He took her on every ride in the park: Death Slide, Scream Loop, Wall of Horror, everything! Wow!

Five hours later, dizzy and sick to his stomach, he staggered out of the amusement park.

They went straight to McDonald’s and her husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.

Then they went to the movies – it was the latest Disney movie and what an amazing adventure!

Finally, she returned home with her husband and collapsed on the bed.

Her husband leaned over and asked her affectionately: “So, honey, what was it like to be six years old again?”

The woman looked up wearily and said;

“You fool, I meant my dress size.”

The moral of the story is this:

If a woman speaks and a man is really listening, he will still misunderstand.
