Malarky Monday
Posted by BurnieOct 26
Well it’s Monday again.
This Monday I have a old but Typical Joke to get you smiling.
Young Johnny is a product of the late sixties or early seventies.
He shows the honesty and enterprise of a generation that was not politically correct.
That is why I love his jokes so much.
HOW TO SELL TOOTHBRUSHES
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, I gave everybody who walked by a sample.
They all said the same thing,
“Hey, this tastes like shit!”
Then I would say,
“It is shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush?
Now that is one smart enterprising young man,
He would be on the bus but I recon he is about two or three buses ahead of us.
Who knows what he is doing today,
But i would guess he is in jail somewhere.
Why you ask?
Because of Political correctness.
I bet the shit wasn’t white, or had the Heart foundation Tick,
Didn’t have a Label of ingredients or other bullshit like calorie counts.
Enough said.
Go over and see my mates ~m and Morky for some more laughs

UPDATE
I found a photo of Johnny not taken to long ago.
He is now married and enjoys going to fancy dress parties with his wife and best mate,
Although his humour has matured Johnny is still miles down the burnway ahead of us.
Just in case you don’t recognize him ,he is on the far left.

Johnny is a clever boy.
The picture nearly killed me though! OMG!
Yes Pam, Johnny is one smart boy, but what a bastard he has turned into.

I remember you telling this joke as me, you and Mac were cracking open some bottles of Guinness at the Cape. 8-(
