Insurance Salesman

"My cousin applied for a job as an insurance salesman. Where the form
requested "prior experience," he jotted down "Lifeguard." Nothing else.

"We're looking for someone who can not only sell insurance, but, who
can sell himself," said the hiring manager for the Insurance company.
"How does working as a lifeguard pertain to salesmanship?"

"I could not swim," my cousin replied.

He got the job.
