The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.

Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made £30," she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."

"Very good," said the teacher.

Little Jenny was next:

"I sold magazines," she said, "I made £45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events."

"Very good, Jenny," said the teacher..

Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn.

The teacher held her breath ...

Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "£2,467," he said.

"£2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?"

"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.

"Toothbrushes!" echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"

"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand and gave everybody who walked by a free sample."

They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog poop!"

Then I would say, "It is dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

"I used the government's strategy of giving you something shitty for free, and then making you pay to get that taste out of your mouth."

and now I have been reported .. thing is .. I don,t care .. and I will continue to post my opinion on here . I have paid to post on GR
GR can ban me, try to control my posts by censorship before they have even looked at a post and all that does is prove how this pathetic RR system has destroyed the chat boards..
No come back for the vindictive reporter ..just another way to stamp on the chat board before it gets back to the way it used to be.. and that is what scares itchy fingers
I have proved it

one more thing before I go to bed..
message to the person who decided to report my post
Please feel free to PM me to discuss why you found it so offensive.
Was it because I hit a nerve?
I promise it will not go further than between me and you.
You reported my post for a reason ,now have the decency to explain to me why you found it offensive.. its far too easy to hide behind a press of a button
