There was an international sales convention in Paris. During the lunch hour break 3 American salesmen find themselves in a fancy restaurant. There is an historic, magical wish-granting mirror, rumoured to be once owned by Napoleon, standing in the corner. But it only grants wishes if you tell the truth. If you lie, you disappear.
The first American, a software salesperson for Microsoft, decides to give it a try. He walks up to the mirror, stands before it and says, "I work for the most innovative software firm in the world!"
"POOF!" he disappears.
The second American, a smartphone salesperson for RIM, working out of their New York office, decides he'll have a try. He walks up to the mirror, stands before it and says, "I work for the most reliable smartphone manufacturer and serivce provider in the world!"
"POOF!" he disappears.
The third American, a iPhone salesperson for Apple, decides he'll have a go at it. He walks up to the mirror, stands before it and says, "I work..."
"POOF!" he disappears.
Moral of the story. If you're a professional salesperson working a gig that's too good to be true, whatever you do.... DON"T TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT! Because as soon as you do... either the job or you will disappear!
