Selling Bibles

Thanks to David H.

A pastor concluded that his church was getting into very serious financial troubles.

While checking the church storeroom,

he discovered several cartons of new bibles that had never been opened and distributed.

So at his Sunday sermon, he asked for three volunteers from the

congregation who would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for

$10 each to raise the desperately needed money for the church.

Jack, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the task.

The minister knew that Jack and Paul earned their living as salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles.. But he had serious doubts about Louie who was a local farmer, who had always kept to

himself because he was embarrassed by his speech impediment.

Poor Louie stuttered badly. But, NOT WANTING TO discourage Louie,

the minister decided to let him try anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars

stacked with bibles. He asked them to meet with him and report the

results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister immediately asked Jack,

'Well, Jack, how did you make out selling our bibles last week?'

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Jack replied, 'Using my

sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles,

and here's the $200 I collected on behalf of the church.'

'Fine job, Jack!' The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand...

'You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you.'

Turning to Paul, 'And Paul, how many bibles did you sell for the

Church last week?'

Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, 'I am

a professional salesman. I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the church, and

here's $280 I collected.'

The minister responded, 'That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You are

truly a professional

salesman and the church is indebted to you.'

Apprehensively, the minister turned to Louie and said, 'And Louie,

did you manage to sell any bibles last week?' Louie silently offered

the minister a large envelope.

The minister opened it and counted the contents. 'What is this?' the

minister exclaimed.

'Louie, there's $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you sold 320

bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?'

Louie just nodded.

'That's impossible!' both Jack and Paul said in unison. 'We are

professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many

bibles as we could.'

'Yes, this does seem unlikely,' the minister! agreed. 'I think you'd

better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie.'

Louie shrugged.. 'I-I-I re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know f-f-f-for

sh-sh-sh-sure,' he stammered.

Impatiently, Peter interrupted. 'For crying out loud, Louie, just tell

us what you said to them when they answered the door!'

'A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was,' Louis replied, 'W-w-w-w-would

y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible

f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks ---o-o-o-or--- wo-wo-would yo-you

j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and

r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you??'
