No Sale

Don’t bother becoming a mirror salesperson

Times are tough.

So I took a job as a mirror salesman.

The first house I went to turned out to be owned by The Invisible Man. No sale.

My second stop was a guy named Dracula. I am considering it a no sale. He wouldn’t open the door and kept asking me to come back after dark. Weird.

At the third house (actually, a castle), the Evil Queen who hated Snow White answered the door. You guessed it, no sale.

The fourth was owned by The Hulk. He said, “Hulk smash mirrors.”

After I picked the broken glass out of my head, I quit.
