The Best Salesman

Morris walks into an insurance office and asks for a job.

"We don't need anyone," he was told.

"You can't afford not to hire me," Morris said. "I can sell anyone, anytime, anything!"

"Well, we have two prospects that NO ONE has been able to sell. If you can sell just one, you have a job."

He was gone about two hours. He 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," Morris said. "I can sell anyone, anywhere, anytime!"

"Did you get a urine sample?" they asked.

"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 six hours, and they were fixing to close when in he walks in with two five-gallon buckets, one in each hand. He sets the buckets down, reaches in his shirt pocket and produces two bottles of urine.

He 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!"
