Insurance Salesman
Morris walked into an insurance office and asked for a job.
“We don’t need anyone,” they replied.
“You can’t afford NOT to hire me. I can sell anyone anything, any time!”
“Well, we have two prospects that NO ONE has been able to sell to. If you can sell to just one, you have a job.”
He was gone about two hours, and returned and handed them two checks, one for $25,000 and another for $50,000.
“How in the world did you do that?” they asked.
“I told you I’m the world’s best salesman! I can sell to anyone, any time, anywhere!”
“Did you get a urine sample?” they asked him.
“What’s that?” he asked.
“Well, if you sell a policy over $20,000, the company requires a urine sample. Take these two bottles and go back and get urine samples.”
Morris was gone about 6 hours, and they were about to close when in he walks with 2 five-gallon buckets, one in each hand. He sets the buckets down, reaches into his shirt pocket, produces two bottles of urine, and sets them on the desk and says, “Here’s Mr. Brown’s, and this one is Mr. Smith’s.”
“That’s good!” they said, “but what’s in those two buckets?”
“Well, I passed by the Holiday Inn, and they were having a State Teachers Convention, so I stopped and sold them a group policy!”
