Salesmen

Three salesmen are interviewing for a lucrative sales position when the boss explains that the winner of a sales competition will get the job. He gives each of the three a case of 100 toothbrushes, tells them to sell as many as possible and report back the next day for the first of three rounds.

Next morning, all three report in...

Salesman #1: "I sold 50 toothbrushes!"
Salesman #2: Smiling, brags, "I sold 65 toothbrushes!"
Salesman #3: With squeaky voice and a heavy lisp states, "Wew, der were one hundwed toofbwushes in da box, and I sold dem aww."

The Boss and Salesmen 1 & 2 are a little perplexed, but all figured it was a fluke and that the slick salesmen would win out in rounds 2 & 3. Since one sold a whole case, The Boss gave them each two cases for round two.

On the second morning they reported their results...

Salesman #1: Proud that he bested #3's day 1 total, said, "I sold 125 toothbrushes!"
Salesman #2: Clearly thinking he was now in the lead, touts, "I sold 140 toothbrushes!"
Salesman #3: Again with his lisp states, "You guys must be in a vewy po-ah wocation. I sowd aww two hundwed toofbwushes."

Clearly shocked and embarrassed, Salesman 1 requests five cases, so The Boss gives them each five cases and instructions to report back in the morning.

On the final morning the competitors return...

Salesman #1: "No way these guys could beat me! I finally hit my stride, and I sold 215!"
Salesman #2: Now with the competition clearly in the bag, "I sold 330. Can't wait for my first commission check. I think I'll buy a Mercedes to match my Rolex."
Salesman #3: "You guys aww just doing somfing vewy wong. Maybe you should offeh a wawanty or somefing."
The Boss: "How many did you sell?"
Salesman 3: "I sowd aww five hundwed befow wunch."
The Boss: "How the hell are you selling so many toothbrushes?!"
Saleman 3: "It is vewy simpow. I set up a tabow foo of cookies and shouted, 'FWEE COOKIES! FWEE COOKIES!' Den peepow would eat de cookies and say, 'EWWW! Deez cookies taste wike shit!' and I'd say, 'It IS shit. Wanna buy a toofbwush?'"

One of my all-time favs... If you get the voice right when telling this joke, you'll usually get at least one spit-take from the table ;-)

I laughed out loud. Thanks.

Now that's funny right there... I don't care what ya say... (Cable Guy)

Yeah, that's a side-splitter I've been telling for many years.
