The Salesman

A man walked into a men's clothing store and told the manager he wanted a job as a salesman.

"Sorry, we don't need any salesmen," the manager told him.  

"But you've just got to hire me," the man said. "I'm the world's greatest salesman!"  

The sales manager again refused, but the man hung on and was so convincing that finally the manager said, "Okay, I'll tell you what I'll do. See that suit over there hanging on the back wall? After you've dusted it off, you'll see that it has padded shoulders, pointed lapels, and a belt in the back. It's sort of a blue-orange-green-purple plaid. I don't even remember how I got stuck with it. Now, I'm going to lunch and I'm going to leave you in charge. If you can sell that suit before I get back, you're hired."

About an hour later the manager returned to find the store was a mess. The rugs were ripped, a showcase was turned over, and merchandise was all over the floor. But the suit was gone.  

"Well, I see you've sold the suit."

"Yes, sir."

"It looks like you had a little trouble with the customer, though."

"No, sir. Not a bit of trouble with the customer--but, oh, that seeing-eye dog."
