A salesperson was invited to speak at a dinner meeting of the
local chamber of commerce. Nervous and in such a hurry not to be late
when he arrived at sat down at the head table, he suddenly realized that
he had forgotten his false teeth.
Turning to the man next to him he said, "I forgot my teeth!"
The man said, "No problem." With that he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of false teeth. "Try these," he said. The salesperson tried them. "Too loose," he said.
The man then said, "I have another pair - try these."
The salesperson tried them and responded, "Too tight."
The man was not taken back at all. He then said, I have one more pair of false teeth - try them."
The salesperson said, "They fit perfectly." With that he ate his meal and gave his speech. He was a smash hit. The evening couldn't have been scripted more perfectly.
After the dinner meeting was over, the saleperson went over to thank the man who had bailed him out form what could have been an embarrassing if not career shattering evening.
"I want to thank you for coming to my aid this evening. Where is your office? I've been looking for a good dentist," said the salesperson.
The man replied, "I'm not a dentist. I'm the local undertaker."
Moral of the story. If you're in sales and regulary use false teeth, a hair piece, girdle, athletic supporter or fake eye ball to enhance your professional image; please remember to keep a spare with you at all times! You just never know.
