The Book Distributor

 

 

This book distributor became rather bored with his job of

selling Bhagavatams, so he decided to become a boss, hiring three people

to sell Bhagavatams for him. He interviewed three people.

 

The first came in and said, "I want to sell Bhagavatams for you.OK,

you're hired. Here's your kit, go sell!"

 

The second man came in and said, "I want to sell Bhagavatams for you.OK,

you're hired! Here's your kit, go sell!"

 

The third came in and announced, "I- I - I wa - wa- wa-want t-t-t-t-to

s-s-s-s-ell to sell, to sell, to sell, bha - bha - bha, sell Bha

-Bhagavatams f-f-f-fo-for y-y-y-y you Bhagavatams for you!No!" shouted

the man,

"this will never work! You can't sell Bhagavatams for me!" The applicant

replied, "B-b-b-b-but I r-r-r-eall, but I really, really, n-n-n-n-need

th-th-th-this, really need tthis job!" As there were no other applicants,

the man said, "OK, I'll give you one shot at this, but I expect you to

PRODUCE!"

 

At the end of the day, the first applicant comes back and reports, "I

sold 8 Bhagavatams today." The second reports, "I sold 11 Bhagavatams

today." The

third worker reports, "To-to-to-to t-t-today, I-I-I so-so,I so-, I so-,

I sold 28 Bha- bha- bha- Bhagavatams!"

 

"Great," says the boss. "However, I want you to sell a lot more Bhagavatams

than that, so get out there tomorrow and MAKE ME SOME DEVOTEES!"

 

At the end of the second day, the first worker comes in and reports,

"Today, I sold 21 Bhagavatams." The second worker reports, "I sold 29

Bhagavatams

today." The third worker reports, "To-to-to t-today, I-i-I so- so, I

so-, I sold 79 Bha-Bha-Bha sold 79, sold 79 Bhagavatams."

 

"Fantastic," said the boss, "since you're doing so well, so much better

than these other two bums, why don't you tell them what your sales

technique is?"

 

The worker simply replied, "I-i-I j-j-j-j-ju-ju-ju-just wa, wa, wa, just

wal- wa- wa- walk, just walk up to up to up to just walk up to them and and

ask, them and ask, them and ask if th-th-th-th ask if they w-w- w-w-w- wa-

ask if they want t-t-t-t-o-o- if they want to b--b-b-b-b if they want to buy

a Bha-bha - want to buy a Bha-bha-Bhagavatam, or d-d-d-d-d do th-th-they do

they w-w-w-ant me to READ it to 'em?"

 

Sorry.
