Today's Smile - Spreading The Word

A bookseller placed an advert in the paper looking for a salesman to sell copies of the Bible. Three men applied for the job and were called for interviews. The bookseller asked the first man to step into his office.
Bookseller: "Tell me, why do you think I should give you the job?"
First Man: "Well, I am a devout Christian, I go to Church every Sunday and I have been a successful salesman for over thirty years."
Bookseller: "Excellent! You sound like just the man I'm looking for, however I have two other applicants to see. Please wait outside."
The bookseller then asked the second man to step into his office.
Bookseller: "Take a seat, now tell me why I should give you the job."
Second Man: "I think I am an ideal candidate, I read the scriptures every night and I have had a successful career in selling all my life"
Bookseller: "Marvelous! You sound ideal, however I have one other applicant to see. Please wait outside."
The bookseller then called the third man, who had a bad stutter, into his office.
Bookseller: "Good morning. Take a seat. Now, tell why you think I should give you the job."
Third Man: " Wwwell I ddd'ont reeeally kkknow. I'm ooout of a jjjob and ttthought I'd gggive it a tttry.
Bookseller: "Have you ever worked in sales before."
Third Man: "nnno."
By this time the bookseller felt sorry for him and asked him to wait outside. He then called all three men back into his office.
Bookseller: "Well gentlemen, this is what I am going to do. I am going to give you all one weeks trial. I want you to come back next Monday at ten o'clock and we'll see how you got on."
The men arrived back the following Monday morning, and the first man was called in.
Bookseller: "How did you get on?"
First Man: "Not very well, people just did not want to know, I think they are turning away from religion, I only managed to sell one Bible."
The second man was then called in.
Bookseller: "Tell me, how did you get on?"
Second Man: "It was tough, people either were not interested or they already had a Bible. I only managed to sell two Bibles."
The third man was called in.
Bookseller: "Hello again, how did you get on?
Third Man: "Nnnot tttoo bbbad. I mmmanaged to sssell fiifty fffour cccopies."
