Popcorn Jones was about 5'2" tall and was about as wide as he was short.( At 5'2" there is no way you could say tall ) Popcorn wanted more than anything to be a car salesman, but there was only one thing wrong. Popcorn had a speech impediment. Yep, Popcorn had a hairlip. He went from dealer to dealer begging them to hire him but it seemed nobody was intrested. Finally , he walked into Ford Dealership and after asking, then begging , and finally crying , the dealer finally told him that he would give him a chance. He would try Popcorn out for three months and at that time he would either be put on permanent or dismissed.
Well sir, try as he may , Popcorn just could not sell a car. Everytime he found someone that seemed intrested they would notice his impediment and make some excuse like, " I'll be back later ", or " I'll ask my wife". Nope,
not one sale did Popcorn make in the whole three month period.
The Dealer called him in and told him he was going to have to let him go.
Popcorn, groaned, and cried , he slobbered and drooled . " Please Mr, Dealer, let me have just one more chance. Please!" he begged.
The dealer at first said no but after more gushers , and bawlings he finally gave in and said, " OK , the next person that comes on the lot , you go greet him or her. If you sell them a car, I'll let you stay a little longer."
Well, Popcorn shook his hand and thanked him. He looked out on the lot and saw a woman drive on to the lot and the Dealer told him this is it .
He went out and greeted the lady and ask her how he could help her. She said she was looking for a new car, but it had to be someting real special.
Popcorn took her over and showed her this pink Thunderbird. The woman had a fit. " My goodness that is the prettiest pink I have ever seen. I just love it"
Popcorn smiled and opened the door so she could see the upholstery and again she screamed with joy, " Oh, My! That is the most beautiful red upholstery I have ever seen. "
Popcorn told her to get in and sit behind the steering Wheel. She did and exclaimed, "OHHH! This is the most comfortable seat I have ever sat in! "
Popcorn smiled and said , " Now , would you like to comth with me and filthout the paper workth"
She said she did , but then she spied this red button on the dash and she ask him what it was for. Popcorn said, " Oh, thats nothin' that is a button that you puth if the car ever dies and it will starth right up."
She put her hands to her face and groaned , " Oh , no, I can see it now . I pull up to a stop light and then the car dies and people behind me are honking and honking. Oh, how embarrassing ! "
" No, No ! " Popcorn cried, " itth won't die , thats just in cathe it dies "
" Ohhh, I can see it now , I'm out driving my friends around and the car dies! Oh how devastating!" She moaned.
" No! Lady ! The car ith not gonna die! That is just in ca it dies! ", now Popcorn was screaming. " Look Lady! " he yelled. He undid the buttons on his shirt, pulled up his tee shirt, and pointed to the tiny nipple on his chest.
" Men don't have babieth! This is just in CATHE they have babieth!
Mmmmmm, I wonder if that sold her. LOL
