Tell you what," the haberdasher said to a persistent job applicant. "I've got one suit I can't sell -- that purple, green and yellow number over there. If you can make that sale, you've not only got the job, you've got it for life." Then the store owner left for lunch. When he returned, he was shocked to see the young man's clothes in tatters and his hands and face bleeding. "My God, what happened to you?" "I sold the suit! I sold the suit!" the young man shouted, a smile on his bloodied lips. "Congratulations," the haberdasher said. "You've got the job. But what happened? Did the customer start a fight?" "Oh, no," the new salesman replied. "But his Seeing Eye dog was *pissed*."
