It's amazing that Car Salesman are the same the world over. My dad used to sell copiers and postage machines for a company named Pitney Bowes. Worked for them for 35 years. When he retired (took early retirement), he thought he'd sale cars for a while. When he applied for a job with a friend of his, he was told that they knew he was a fabulas salesman, but that he really didn't have the right attitude to sell cars. What it came down to was they were looking for someone who was pushy and would be a real go getter and not let people leave the lot. They weren't looking for someone who would be like Larry. It's a sucky industry.

Now he has his own pest control business. He really enjoys it. I wish he'd have started it thirty years ago.
