One morning, an elderly gentleman was walking through town when he noticed a sign in a shop window that caught his attention.<\/p>\n
\u201cSALESMAN WANTED \u2013 APPLY INSIDE.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Now, the old man had been looking for work for quite some time, and with a wife and six children to support, he couldn\u2019t afford to pass up an opportunity.<\/p>\n He straightened his jacket, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.<\/p>\n The shop owner looked up as the elderly man approached the counter.<\/p>\n \u201cGood morning, sir. Can I help you?\u201d<\/p>\n The old man smiled nervously.<\/p>\n \u201cI-I-I w-w-want that j-joooob-b.\u201d<\/p>\n The owner hesitated. He wasn\u2019t quite sure how to respond.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, sir, I appreciate your interest, but this is a sales position. You\u2019ll need to speak with customers all day, and I\u2019m not sure your speech difficulty would make that easy.\u201d<\/p>\n The old man wasn\u2019t about to give up.<\/p>\n \u201cP-p-please, s-s-sir! I h-h-have a w-wi-wiiiife and s-s-s-six k-k-kkkids! I r-r-really n-n-need this j-j-job!\u201d<\/p>\n The shop owner felt sorry for him and decided to give him a chance.<\/p>\n \u201cAlright, let\u2019s try something. Here are three Bibles. Take them around the neighborhood and see if you can sell them.\u201d<\/p>\n The old man\u2019s face lit up. He grabbed the books and hurried out the door.<\/p>\n Just one hour later, he was back.<\/p>\n The owner looked surprised.<\/p>\n \u201cBack already? Any luck?\u201d<\/p>\n The old man reached into his pocket, pulled out a handful of cash, and placed it on the counter.<\/p>\n \u201cH-here-sss, your money M-M!\u201d<\/p>\n The owner stared at the money in disbelief.<\/p>\n He\u2019d sold all three Bibles!<\/p>\n \u201cRemarkable!\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cWell done! Let\u2019s see what you can do with a few more.\u201d<\/p>\n This time, he handed the old man twelve Bibles.<\/p>\n Off he went again.<\/p>\n Two hours later, the shop door swung open.<\/p>\n There stood the elderly gentleman, smiling proudly, with another pile of cash in his hand.<\/p>\n \u201cHer-ers y-yooour m-m-money.\u201d<\/p>\n The owner nearly fell off his chair.<\/p>\n He couldn\u2019t believe it. Fifteen Bibles sold in just three hours!<\/p>\n He shook his head in amazement.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is unbelievable! You\u2019ve sold more Bibles in three hours than my best salesman sells in an entire week!\u201d<\/p>\n Then curiosity got the better of him.<\/p>\n \u201cTell me something. What\u2019s your secret? What exactly do you say when someone answers the door?\u201d<\/p>\n The old man grinned, cleared his throat, and explained.<\/p>\n \u201cW-well,\u201d said the old man, \u201cI r-r-ring the d-door bell, a-a-and s-s-say \u2018H-Hel-Hello, M-m-maaaaddam, d-d-do you w-w- want t-t-t-to buy thi-thi-this B-B-Bible, oooor d-d-do y-you w-w-want m\u2019me t-toooo read it t-t-t-t-to you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One morning, an elderly gentleman was walking through town when he noticed a sign in a shop window that caught his attention. \u201cSALESMAN WANTED \u2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16174,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-funny-and-jokes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16173"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16175,"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16173\/revisions\/16175"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/humorssite.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
