NO FEAR!



"Doctor O'Hara," the salesman pleaded, "I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed, I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You gotta help me, I'm going crazy."

"Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said Dr O'Hara, the psychiatrist, "Come and see me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears."

"How much do you charge?"

"A hundred dollars per visit," replied the shrink.

"In that case, I'll sleep on it," answered the salesman.

Six months later the doctor met the salesman in the street.

"Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist.

"For a hundred buck's a visit?  A bartender cured me for ten dollars," smiled the salesman.

"Is that so!  How?"

"He told me to cut the legs off the bed."

Moral of the story.  True sales professionals know that in order to succeed they must have no fears.  And if you do have fears, it always pays to have a large network of bartenders, to help you through.
