It was a seminar for salespeople held in New Orleans in the mid ‘70s. The stage had been set up with an overhead projector and a huge screen. The audience was about fifteen hundred strong, all salespeople from various companies in the area who had paid about fifteen dollars per person to attend the gathering. The speaker cleared his throat and the audience quieted down awaiting the presentation.

“Before we begin” he started, “I want to have the two strongest men in the audience to come up here.” Two big guys were encouraged by their friends and others in the crowd, rose and made their way to the stage. “Now,” continued the speaker, “I want the best looking woman here to come up.” A good-looking saleswoman from the floor was pushed forward and joined the trio on the stage. “And now,” said the speaker, “Surely in this group of salesmen someone has a $100 bill.” A bill was handed up to the stage. The speaker rolled the “Franklin” and put it in his ear, he motioned to the two big guys to hold him up as he leaned backwards. The woman was told to put her arms around his neck and hug him.
