Many years ago I tried my hand at sales. I worked for a local newspaper selling advertising space. It was meant to be on a commission only basis: no sales, no wages.
My role was to call people who had already advertised their cars for sale and ask them if they still wanted us to continue advertising with us. I couldn't get a single sale. One reader told me his car had been stolen.
"Well, when your car is returned, will you please give me a call so I can advertise it for you?" I said.
After two or three days with no sale and no prospect, I decided sales wasn't for me. It could have been I didn't have the right mental attitude, who knows.
Anyway, just want to share the following story that I received by email.
Enjoy.

A friend shared this about the use of the English language.
*************************
A friend who traveled in India years ago told me these two, that she claims she personally witnessed:
A man expressing gratitude to her:
"I thank you from the very heart of my bottom!"
And on a plane once, the female flight attendant finally answered the call button of the now frustrated Indian man sitting near her:
"Madam, I have been fingering you for over an hour and still you do not come!"

Received the following by email.
**************************
A guy gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to a cute blonde. He immediately turns to her and makes his move.
"You know," he says, "I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. So let's talk."
The blonde, who had just opened her book, closes it slowly and says to the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"
"Oh, I don't know," says the guy, smiling. "How about nuclear power?"
"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff----grass; yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cow turns out a flat patty, and the horse produces muffins of dried poop. WHY do you suppose that is?"
The guy is dumbfounded. Finally he replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."
"So tell me," says the blonde, "how is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?" More >

Isn't it lovely how so many people speak the same language? Or not?
Love EJ :-)

On Saturday I watched a performance on television called The Human Slinky. It's fabulous. Here's another version on YouTube.
Enjoy.
