A man was interviewing for a sales representative
A man was interviewing for a sales representative. One candidate would have been ideal for the position except that he had a disconcerting mannerism. He kept winking. “Look here, I’d like to give you the job, you’ve got good references and experience. The trouble is this trick you’ve got of winking all the time, it might put our customers off.” “No worries.” the candidate replied. “All I’ve got to do to get rid of it is to take a couple of aspirins.” So saying he began emptying his pockets. The employer was startled to see dozens of condoms, multi coloured ones, ribbed ones, heavy duty varieties and every known brand of standard condom. “Here we are.” said the rep. He swallowed two aspirins and his winking stopped at once. “Thats all very well but we couldn’t hire a man who was going to be womanising all over his territory.” “Oh I wouldn’t dream of it, I’m happily married.” “Then how do you account for all of these things?” “Simple, Did you ever go into a chemist winking all the time and ask for a packet of aspirins?”
