First Traveling Salesman: “Did you sleep with the Farmer’s Daughter back in 1950 when we were on the road together? And did you happen to use MY name?”
Second Traveling Salesman: “Why yes, I did. I slept with her and used your name. Why do you ask?”
First Traveling Salesman: “She just died and left me her 1,000 acre farm!”
Ba-Dump-Dump. ;)
Not all traveling salesmen are like the reputation. I was a “dummer” (outside salesman) for 14+ years, traveled for a living in other capacities for another 14+ years. Spent the last 5-1/2 in an office running a catalog department in 1 of 2 wholesale distribution companies I worked for.
Next month will mark 47 year of marriage with my wife.
There were times I was gone from home for 30 days at a stretch.
But I worked with some great people.
I don’t hear many traveling salesman jokes any more, there aren’t as many traveling salesmen.
