Hey, Mike, this is Dana from North Carolina calling.

I hope you're enjoying your time off with your family and getting some rest and relaxation,

having fun.

I was going through some shows from last week, and I think of your Wednesday show,

you were talking about the kids assaulting you with sales request to get to buy popcorn

and all kinds of stuff that they're selling. Reminded me of a

story about a young fella here in the hills, kind of a slow sort of fella, but he decided he wanted

to go into sales. So he went into this really nice neighborhood and knocked on the door. Man came out

in a really nice suit, big house and all that.

He said, hey there, I said, but you like to buy a toothbrush?

The guy said, son, he said, do you see this fine house that you're standing in front of?

Yeah.

You see these nice cars in the driveway and the swimming pool in the backyard and this $5,000 Armani suit that I'm wearing. Yeah. He said, I made that money through sales. And I have to tell you, that's the poorest excuse of a sales job I've ever seen in my life. And he said, nobody's going to buy anything from you. He said, I'm going to give you some free advice. He said, I'll tell you what do. He said, what you need is a gimmick? I said, what's that? He said, you know, where you have

like a contest or a gift or something you give people to as an incentive to get them to buy

your product. And he said, you go away and you figure out a gimmick and come back and maybe I'll,

maybe I'll buy something from you. So the fellow leaves, and he comes back a week or so later, and he knocks on the door, and the same fella comes, and nicely dressed, and he says, hey there, says, you like a piece of candy? He said, well, thank you. Yes, I would. And he took it, put it in his mouth and chewed. I said, God, what is that?

Said it tastes like horseshit. Says this. You won't buy a toothbrush? Thank you all. You've been a great crowd. I got a million of them. I'll be up here nightly at the Mayberry Airport Lounge and Grill. so you don't have to play this on the radio.

But anyway,

hope you're having a good week, brother.

Take care. lounge and grill. So you don't have to play this on the radio. But anyway, hope you're

having a good week, brother. Take care. So, you might think I'm crazy. So leave it to Dana to reset the mood

I told him I was going to play that on the show
