Also men, a good sales director has to use good English, even in ads, always rely on the comma and forget the period

 

 

Hey there – Stan! It’s Stan, isn’t it? I’m Hal. The new guy? Sold a washer the other day?

Oh, right. The washer salesman who sold a washer. Look, I’m kinda in a hur –

I’ve been thinking about that customer I sold the washer to. It was my first, so it was kinda special and I want to, you know, get things off on the right foot. The other day she said her wash was still dingy, and I took it kinda personally. Like it was my fault.

Sure, sure, we all care. Now if you’ll – wait a minute, how’d you hear her complain?

Oh I went over.

After you sold the washer? Why? She need some spare belts?

No, she’s just really pretty. Anyway I didn’t go in the house I just overheard her. She was out back hanging up the wash, talking to a neighbor.

And you were . . .

At the front door. I heard her talking, and realized she wouldn’t hear the knock, so I left.

Uh huh. Well, you’re better off trying to sell someone else a washer, pal; she won’t need one for ten years.

I suppose. But then I wouldn’t get the chance to give her this.

What is that? A handkerchief? Oh for God’s sake, Sal, are those her panties?

It blew off the line. And it’s Hal. I figured I’d bring them back but I didn’t know how to explain that. But now this Rinso angle, that’s the ticket.

Yeah, well, I’d drop it if I were you. Forget it and move on and stop snatching panties off the line of your customers, okay?. Look, I gotta go.

See you around, Stan! Good selling!

 

 

What – what are you doing here? Who are you?

It’s Hal, Betty! I’m the fella who sold you the washer, remember? I was wondering if you getting your whites as white as possible, and thought I’d drop in an remind you to use Rinso, like I told you. You remember how I told you, don’t you?

Yes! Yes of course! I’ll take your advice. It was good advice. Really it was. My husband will be home any minute and I’ll tell him about Rinso. Please leave now.

Why don’t you say something? Why are you smiling like that?
