Selling Bibles
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...One day, Bob, who is a salesman, walked into his boss’s office. Bob said he had this friend who was a really good salesman, but he just got laid off. Bob asked if there was any chance that his boss could give him a job.
His boss smiled, but said that he doesn’t like to hire people unless he meets them first.
Bob then replied, “Well can’t you just give him a chance. You know, one of those trial periods.”
His boss then got an idea. “Well actually, we are all supposed to go out and sell bibles next Wednesday. If your friend wants to, he can come along.”
Bob then thanked his boss. “He won’t let you down.”
So, Wednesday came around and everyone was there, even the new guy. The job was, that all of the salesman were going to go door to door to sell bibles. Then, after one hour, they would all meet back up at their building.
Well, an hour passed, and everyone was back, except the new guy. Another hour passed, and he still wasn’t there. So the boss said they’d give him another half and hour and if he didn’t show that they would go on. So the guy finally shows up.
They all got in a circle and they went around telling how many bibles they had sold. One guy sold 5, the next sold 4, and so on. The most bibles anyone had sold was 7. They got around to the new guy and the boss looked at him and said, “How many bibles did you sell.”
He stood up and calmly said, “Thir-thir-thirty-fi-five.”
The boss thn said, “Well, how did you sell 35 bibles? You get up to the front of the room and tell us how you sold 35 bibles.”
So the guy walked up to the front of the room and this is what he said.
“We-we-well, I wa-wa-walked up to th-the fr-front do-do-door. And I-I said my ho-ho-how do you do-do’s. And th-then I told them I was se-se-selling bi-bibles, and th-that they could bu-buy one, or I cou-could re-read it to them!”
