A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME.

The setup

A sales rep is ordered to guard the office bagels from everyone but the sales team, and a janitor with his eye on one turns the whole presentation into a disaster.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

At a morning sales meeting, mild-mannered Ron is told by his peppy boss, Mr. Sheltie, to make sure everyone knows the bagels are for sales associates only. A janitor then keeps edging toward the breakfast table, asking whether the food might be for him, and every refusal pulls Ron further into the argument. Mr. Sheltie, trying to deliver a presentation on the history of selling, blames Ron for each interruption, even though Ron is only following his instruction. By the time Ron snaps and declares that even the smell is off limits, he has been fired, and the boss is left to give his speech alone with the bagels that started it.

Highly quotable.

Ron, handle your bagels!

Cells make up our bodies, but selling makes our bodies come alive.

You can't have any bagels! You can't have any cream cheese! And you can't have smells!
