The Bible Salesman

This door-to-door entrepreneur became rather bored with his job of
selling Bibles, so he decided to become a boss, hiring three people
to sell Bibles for him. He interviewed three people.

The first came in and said, "I want to sell Bibles for you." "OK, you're
hired. Here's your kit, go sell!"

The second man came in and said, "I want to sell Bibles for you." "OK,
you're hired! Here's your kit, go sell!"

The third came in and announced, "I- I - I wa - wa- wa-want t-t-t-t-to
s-s-s-s-ell to sell, to sell, to sell, Bi - bi - bi - Bibles, sell Bi
-Bibles f-f-f-fo-for y-y-y-y you Bibles for you!" "No!" shouted the man,
"this will never work! You can't sell Bibles for me!" The applicant
replied, "B-b-b-b-but I r-r-r-eall, but I really, really, n-n-n-n-need
th-th-th-this, really need tthis job!" As there were no other applicants,
the man said, "OK, I'll give you one shot at this, but I expect you to PRODUCE!"

At the end of the day, the first applicant comes back and reports, "I
sold 8 Bibles today." The second reports, "I sold 11 Bibles today." The
third worker reports, "To-to-to-to t-t-today, I-I-I so-so,I so-, I so-,
I sold 28 Bi- bi- b- bibles!"

"Great," says the boss. "However, I want you to sell a lot more Bibles
than that, so get out there tomorrow and MAKE ME SOME MONEY!"

At the end of the second day, the first worker comes in and reports,
"Today, I sold 21 Bibles." The second worker reports, "I sold 29 Bibles
today." The third worker reports, "To-to-to t-today, I-i-I so- so, I
so-, I sold 79 Bi-bi-bi- sold 79, sold 79 Bibles."

"Fantastic," said the boss, "since you're doing so well, so much better
than these other two bums, why don't you tell them what your sales
technique is?"

The worker simply replied, "I-i-I j-j-j-j-ju-ju-ju-just wa, wa, wa,
just wal- wa- wa- walk, just walk up to up to up to just walk up to them
and and ask, them and ask, them and ask if th-th-th-th ask if they w-w-
