A guy with a severe stutter applied for a job selling Bibles. The interviewer
believed he'd never make it as a salesman, and was about to tell the guy to look
elsewhere for work.
The stutterer begged for the job:
"P-p-p-p-p-le-ease g-gg-g-ive m-m-m-mee a ch-ch-cha-a-ance.
I-i-ic-c-can d-d-d-o i-i-tt."
Well, the manager said, OK, he'd give him a few Bibles and the rest of the day to
see if he could sell one or two. By lunchtime, the stutterer was back, having sold
all the Bibles. The manager was impressed, and asked if he could accompany the
stutterer after lunch.
"S-s-sure," said the guy, and later they went out to the streets. They approached a
house, and the stutterer went up and knocked on the door. When the homeowner answered,
he said:
"G-g-g-g-good a-a-a-ftern-n-n-noon, M-m-ma'am. I-i-i'm s-s-s-selling
B-b-b-bibles. W-w-w-w-would y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like to b-b-b-buy a
B-b-b-b-bbible, or sh-sh-sh-ould I j-j-j-j-ust r-r-read it t-t-t-to you?"
