As a salesman, Dante was an ace. He could sell refrigerators to Eskimos and shampoo to a bald person, he was proud of having sold sand to an Arab sheikh. Six months after opening his used car business profits were booming.
When he reached 50 years old, he decided to change his look. He dyed his hair and mustache black, a rich jet black, the manicurist did his hands and nails. He changed his wardrobe to checked vests, embroidered shirts and crocodile shoes.
Everything would have been great if it weren’t for a few buyers who felt ripped off. One broke his tooth with a tremendous right cross. Dante wasn’t even bothered and went to the dentist to have a gold one put in its place.
Now not only does he thinks he has a better smile, but has a lot more class too which makes him irresistible to women.

An informer had warned police that a large quantity of drugs were going to be delivered near the beltway across the street from the motel “Las Brujas”. Immediately the unit that was on patrol near the location where the deal was going to be down, was called urgently to the scene.
Via the internet, the photo of the main suspect, the terrible “Carrot Top”, was sent directly to the patrol car’s on-board computer. Lieutenant Steve O’Connor, seeing the portrait, felt a strong pain in his stomach. The resemblance with the suspect was unsettling.
Angie, the policewoman as his side, looked at the photo and said, a little troubled, “I have the impression that I’ve seen this guy before.” Cold drops of sweat trickled down the forehead of Lieutenant O’Connor, who was trying to hide his face, said “It’s amazing how all us redheads look alike! …It’s like the Chinese, we all look alike.”

School wasn’t a real passion for the little Richard. The only thing that he really wanted was to drive one day a beautiful automobile.
One morning at school, he was punished for having not done his homework. Extremely angry, his teacher told him that he wouldn’t become of anything in life, that no one would be interested in him and assured him that he would be the laughing stock of the town.
Thirty years later when Lord Richard Walter Eigler bought himself this magnificent sports car equipped with 12 in-line cylinders, a certain jealousy was awakened in his neighbors. His frequent promenades down the streets of Coronda City at the wheel of his splendid automobile drew envious looks and comments. He wasn’t bothered by this, to the contrary, he experienced a subtle and soft trembling of pleasure.

After having won the lottery, Charlie and Pete insisted that they be addressed as Charles Edward and Pierre Henri. The first thing they did was to buy some designer brand clothes, ‘Hollywood’ style sunglasses, and a tanning lamp so they could have that perfect “Caribbean” tan. They had the hair removed from their chests and backsides and started using anti-wrinkle cream. They didn’t forget to buy flamboyant gold watches and to top everything off, they bought themselves the very best, their dream car, a collector’s convertible that became the envy of the neighborhood.
They went out for a ride around town pretending to be VIPs. They stopped at a street corner with the music full blast. Talking very loud, they exchanged the 5 or 6 words in French that they knew. Seeing two sculptured beauties approaching, they said to themselves, “these two are ours.”
When the two babes passed in front of them, Charles Edward puffed up his chest, stroke a suave pose, and cocking his head to the side, said “excuse me, girls, haven’t we already see each other somewhere?”
The two girls completely ignored him, and without saying a word, continued their way.
Desperate, Pierre Henri, risked throwing in, “uh, girls you wouldn’t like to take a little car ride, would you?” And he heard one girl saying to the other “just where do these clowns come from?”
After an hour without having the slightest success, Charlie said “And what if we went to have a beer?” “Ehh, sure, why not?” answered Pete.
Their heads down and dragging their feet, they went in the direction of the corner bar to finish the night as usual.
