An elderly man walked into a store with a “Salesman Wanted” sign in a window.
He walked up to the owner and said, “I-I-I w-w-want that j-joooob-b.”
“I don’t know if this job would suit you because of your speaking impediment,” said the owner.
“I h-h-have a w-wi-wiiiife and s-s-s-six k-k-kkkids, iii-I need this thi-thi-this j-j job!” the man said.
“OK. Here are three Bibles. Go out and sell them,” the owner said.
So the man went out and came back an hour later.
“H-here-sss, your money M-M,” the older man said.
The owner was impressed, so he gave the man an extra dozen Bibles and sent him out.
The man came back in two hours later and said, “Her-ers y-yooour m-m-money.”
The owner said, “This is fantastic. You sold more Bibles in three hours than anyone has sold in a week. Tell me, what do you say to the people when they come to the door?”
“W-well,” said the old man, “I r-r-ring the d-door bell, a-a-and s-s-say ‘H-Hel-Hello, M-m-maaaaddam, d-d-do you w-w- want t-t-t-to buy thi-thi-this B-B-Bible, oooor d-d-do y-you w-w-want m’me t-toooo read it t-t-t-t-to you?
