A joke instead-again

Eat for the health of it.

Sorry no info tonight again. Last night I had to go to bed early so we could get up in the middle of the night so I could get to a book signing this morning. I sold 10 books but that was good, when competing with other authors.
So here's the story.

A minister found a pile of boxed bibles that had never been opened and being the church was financially in trouble he asked the congregation for volunteers to sell the bibles door to door, for $10 each.

Three young men from the church came forward and said they would sell the bibles, Peter, Paul and Louie. The minister was sure Peter and Paul could handle the job but somehow he wasn't quite sure of Louie. Louie had a speach impediment, but the minister decided to let him try.

After a week of selling the three fellows came to the minister. Peter told the minister that he had sold 20 bibles and he gave the minister the $200.00.
Paul said that he was able to sell 28 bibles and handed the minister $280.00.
Then the minister looked at Louie and didn't want to embarass him if he didn't sell anything, so he stammered around for something to say but Louie was so excited that he just handed the envelope to the minister and blurted out, "PPastor,"II ssold 320 bbibles."
Both Peter and Paul said,"That's impossible." But the minister said, "There is $3200.00 in the envelpoe."

Peter and Paul reminded the minister that they were professional salesman and they wanted to know how Louie could sell better then they did.

The minister asked Louie, "Can you tell us what technique you used?"

Louie explained, "I jjust wwent tto ththe ddoor aand aasked iif ththey wowould llike tto bbuy aa bbibble ffor tten ddollors oor iif ththey wawanted mme tto rread iit tto ththem."
