A bench in a park might have a mystical quality. It’s a place where time moves at its own speed and where two old friends can laugh together, tell one other wild stories, or just sit quietly and watch the world go by.
On this specific day, it was the ideal place for two elderly guys to do nothing at all – and do it brilliantly.
These two had earned the right to simply relax and take in the spectacle; they had no intention of breaking a sweat or keeping up with the news.
These two had earned the right to simply relax and take in the spectacle; they had no intention of breaking a sweat or keeping up with the news.
The world continued to spin, children continued to play, and dogs continued their unrelenting ball-chasing. Even the slightest things seemed to have a hint of humor on this particular day, such as the appearance of a young woman wearing a sports bra and jogging shorts.
This is the tale:
In the park, two elderly guys are seated on a bench.
A young, pretty girl in shorts and a sports bra walks past. When one of the males smiles, the girl approaches and asks, “You creep, why are you smiling at me?”
“I’m not smiling at you,” the elderly guy responds politely, “because seeing attractive young girls in the summer always cheers an old man up, no matter how difficult life gets.”
Touched, the girl gives him a cheek kiss and jogs off.
“3-0,” the elderly man says to his pal, then it’s your turn.
ADDITIONAL FUNNY STORY
This is a fictional story about a Montana salesman. I initially felt bad for the man, but toward the end, I couldn’t stop giggling! What a brilliant answer! It’s the nicest thing I’ve read in ages!
A young man named Michael relocated to New York from a small Montana village. In search of employment, he went inside a big department shop.
The supervisor interviewed him and inquired:
“Have you ever worked in sales?”
Indeed. “Back in Montana, I worked as a vacuum salesman,” the young man replied.
Despite his doubts, the employer chose to give Michael a chance because he liked him.
“You begin at 8:00 tomorrow. After we close, I’ll come down from the office to see how you went,” he added.
Even though his first day on the job was difficult, Michael managed to get through it. The manager assembled all of the staff on the sales floor after the store had been shut up.
The chief inquired, “How many customers purchased anything from you today?”
Michael scowled and murmured, “One,” while glancing at the ground.
“Come together!”
The manager yelled:
“Just one? On average, our sales team serves 20 to 30 clients each day. This needs to get better! And soon if you want to stay on staff here. Here in the Big Apple, we hold our salespeople to very high standards. In Montana, it might have been okay to make one sale per day, but you’re not in the country anymore, son. Gather yourself, or leave!
Despite listening to the manager’s grievance, the young man kept his eyes fixed on the ground. The supervisor felt awful for making fun of him on his first day, so he inquired:
“All right, what was the price of your single sale?”
Michael raised his head and replied:
“$124,088.30”
Surprised, the boss uttered:
“$124,088.30? How on earth did you sell?
The young man clarified:
I started by selling him some brand-new fish hooks. In order to match his new hooks, I then sold him a new fishing rod. He told me he was going fishing down the coast when I inquired, so I told him he would need a boat. We headed to the boat department, where I sold him our newest twin-engine model. I went him to the automobile section and sold him a 4×4 Dodge pickup after he stated that he didn’t think his small car could tow it.
After a minute of quiet, the boss’s mouth fell open and he asked:
“So you sold a guy a boat and a new truck when he came to buy fish hooks?
Michael answered:
“Not at all. The man came in here to buy tampons for his lady, to be honest. Then I said, “Dude, you should go fishing; it’s your weekend shot.”
The next day, Michael received a promotion.
Don’t waste any more time and tell your friends about this!
