The Crafty Salesman joke long : Paddy was looking for work and spotted a job ad for a door-to-door Bible salesman.
So he suited up and headed into town.
He walked into the boss’s office and said, “P-P-Paddy h-h-here to a-a-apply for th-th-the job.”
The boss raised an eyebrow and said, “Sorry Paddy, I’m not sure this is the right job for you.”
Paddy replied, “B-b-but y-you haven’t g-given me a ch-ch-chance. That’s d-d-discriminatory!”
The boss shrugged. “Alright, I’ll give you a shot. Here’s 50 Bibles. Let’s see how you do.”
Four hours later, Paddy came back. “S-s-sold ’em all!”
The boss was shocked. “Incredible! Here’s 100 more!”
Next day at lunch… “S-s-sold ’em, boss!”
The boss nearly fell off his chair.
“You’re hired, Paddy! Take 200 more and come to our staff meeting on Friday to share your pitch. We need more stock now, thanks to you!”
Friday came, and the boss introduced Paddy: “Ladies and gents, Paddy sold 350 Bibles in under 3 days! He’s going to tell you his sales technique.”
Paddy stepped up and said, “Well, I knock on the d-d-door, and w-w-when they a-a-answer, I just ask…
‘D-d-do you want to b-buy a Bible… or d-d-do you want me to r-r-read it to you?’”
