An Old Man Who Stutters Gets A Job Selling Bibles Door-To-Door

One of the many pleasures we have in life is laughing. Although we would all agree that it feels good to laugh, there are many times in our lives when we don’t find there is much to laugh about. That is why it is so important to find something that will give you a chuckle, perhaps each day. When you do so, you will find that your problems are a little easier to manage and you might even find that you are waking up every day with a desire to get your day started. The following joke will help to get you on your way.

An elderly man came into a shop with a ‘Salesman Wanted’ sign in a window.

He went up to the owner & said, “I-I-I w-w-wanna-t the j-joooob-b.”

“I don’t know if this job would suit you because of your speaking impediment,” said the owner.

“I h-h-havvve a w-wi-wiiiife & s-s-s-six k-kkkids, iiii-I re-really neeeed thi-thi-this j-j-job!” said the man.

“O.K. Here are three Bibles. Go out & sell them.” said the owner.

So the man went out & came back an hour later.

“H-here-sss your m-m-money.” said the elderly man.

The owner was impressed, so he gave the man a dozen more Bibles & sent him out.

The man came back in two hours & 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-welllll,” 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?
