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.
“I don’t hear many traveling salesman jokes any more, there aren’t as many traveling salesmen.”
But you gotta admit...that’s a good one! ;)
