The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship to the class.
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 Debbie was next. "I sold magazines" she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events."
"That's excellent, Debbie", 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 toothbrushes to make that much money?"
"Well......I found the busiest corner in town", said Little Johnny. "I set up a "Dip & Chip" stand and I gave everybody who walked by a Free Sample."
They all said the same thing.........."Hey, this tastes like dog poop!"
Then I would say, "It is dog poop. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"
"I used the "President Obama Method" of giving you some crap, dressing it up so it looks good, telling you it's free and then making you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth."

It has just been revealed to me (by the press...imagine that!!) that the new "nuclear thing" they passed yesterday will allow
the law on hamburgers to be repealed easily with a simple majority vote and we will be able to all go back to free enterprise.
I will believe it when I see it!

Not a single one can think for themselves, it's total group think, which is a total FUBAR!

Now that is Funny I don't care who you are :thumbup: :thumbup:
Hamburgers cost $5 (give or take, depending on the toppings). Eighty five percent of the people think that's fair and buy the hamburger. Fifteen percent (who are vegetarians, prefer hot dogs, or simply aren't hungry) don't buy hamburgers.
obama thinks everyone needs a hamburger !! He thinks that everyone needs the $7.50 hamburger, which is the super special, containing things like mushrooms, onions, pickles, and a half a dozen other toppings which many people don't like or want. He declares that there is only one hamburger that people can buy; i.e., the $7.50 one !!
He also thinks some should get their hamburgers for free, or at least subsidized. Now the price of ALL hamburgers have been raised to $10 to cover the subsidized ones, like those that Congress and their staff members eat (and only pay $2.50 for their hamburgers, since we pay for 75% of theirs) !!!
Now, under political pressure, obama is telling the hamburger vendors to sell the $5 hamburger until the next election... but the vendors no longer make the $5 hamburger... and are being told by various state food regulators that the current Federal law forbids the selling of "inferior" hamburgers so they must continue to sell the $10 hamburger (it IS the law, after all !!!)
So... does this make things clear to you?

Finally, an original thought. Bet it feels good to finally get one. Now you can stop stealing, you little thief.
Received it in an email addressed to me...just thought I would pass it on. You get your panties in a bunch much too easily!
