Toothbrushes

There was this poor soul who couldnt hold a job. Every time he managed
to land one, he would get fired for some reason or other. He was explaining
his misery to a friend, and his friend told him that he thought he could get
him a job that was almost impossible to get fired from. He proceeded to tell
him about said job. He explained how he responded to an advertisement in a
newspaper claiming he could bring home big bills by selling toothbrushes.
Needless to say this poor man couldnt afford to turn down this job, so he
found the clipping and mailed away for his kit.

Upon arrival, he immediately opened his package and eagerly went door to
door trying to sell his toothbrushes, but nobody seemed interested enough to
buy any. He went back to his friends house and asked how many toothbrushes he
usually sold. His friend told him 700 to 800/wk. Astonished, he asked
what his secret was. His friend told him that a good businessman would never
reveal his secrets. He did however tell him that honesty is not always the
best policy. This got our friend thinking. He left with his idea, and returned
a week later. Upon arrival at his friends house he couldnt help but to brag
how he managed to outsell his friend, three-fold. His friend insisted he tell
him how he managed to pull off a feat like that. He said a good businessman
would never reveal his secrets, but he felt he never would have gotten the job
if it werent for his friend. He told him that he went to the airport with bags
and bags of potato chips and massive quantities of dip, and a big sign that
read, FREE CHIPS AND DIP. People were all to eager to help themselves and
tasting it, would reply, Hey! This dip tastes like shit!

He would reply, It is. Want to buy a toothbrush?
