Toothbrush Salesman

There was a man who needed a job, so he walked into the corner store and asked the manager for a job. The manager said, “You can have the job, but only if you sell over 50 gross of toothbrushes.”



The man said, “Okay now when do I start?”



“Right now!” said the manager. So the manager gave the man over 100 gross. The next day the man returned to the store with about 10 other people who did the same thing as him. The man was 4th in line. The manager walked up to all the people and asked the first person in line how many gross of toothbrushes did he sell.



“70 gross,” said the first person in line. The manager asked the same thing to the second person in line and he sold 50 gross. The manager asked the same thing to the third person in line and he sold 60 gross. Now he asked the fourth person in line (the man) and he said, “I only sold 10 gross.”



The manager said, “Sorry but I can’t hire you, you didn’t sell enough gross.” The man begged for one more try so the manager gave him one more try. The next day came and this time he was the second person in line. The manager asked the first person in line, “How many gross did you sell?”



The first person in line said, “I sold 60 gross.” Then the manager asked the second person in line (the man), “How many gross did you sell?”



The man responded, “I sold 100 gross!” Everyone was asking him how did he sell so many gross. The man explained to them, “Well I went to a train station and just as all the people were getting off I set up some chip and dip, and the people would take a chip and dip it and say, “ew......this tastes like crap.”



And I said, “It is crap, wanna buy a toothbrush?”
