The Bible Salesmen
The joke that goes well with this photo...
A man who stuttered badly kept applying to a book company for a job as a salesman but was repeatedly turned down. Finally, his persistance paid off when the book company, desperate for sales, decided to give him a suitcase full of Bibles and sent him out on the streets figuring he would have an easier time selling Bibles than the usual line of books.
The next day the severely stuttering man returned with an empty suitcase, a handful of money and an equal number of subscriptions to other books. Thinking it a fluke, they sent him out again only this time he returned with twice the money and twice the number of orders. The sales manager, rather perplexed had to ask him how he was able to sell so many more books in two days than any of the other salesmen could in two weeks.
"W-well," he began, "the f-first d-day it t-took me a wh-while to g-get up my c-c-c-confidence that's w-why I d-didn't s-sell as m-m-many. B-b-but all I d-d-do is w-w-walk up t-t-to the d-d-door, knock on th-the d-d-door and wh-when s-s-someone c-c-comes t-t-to the d-door, I ask th-them, "D-d-do you w-w-want t-t-t-to b-buy a B-Bible from m-m-me or sh-sh-should I r-r-r-read it t-t-to you?"
Seriously, this is my husband and friend after church. They at one time worked together at a shop. It would be more fitting to call them Grease Monkeys.
