Are you a talker?

Could you go on the evening news and make people believe in what you are saying?

I've been told before that I can sale a man the dirt off his own property (wasn't ever sure if this was a compliment though). Also, growing up, my stepdad used to always tell me that I should be a used car salesman<---- I used to lie "nowandthen".

I couldn't take a real Million Dollar bill ( if there is one ) and sell it to anyone for $1100. Usually, when I'm in need of selling anything, I have to take best offer as soon as possible.

I am not a salesman, therefore I guess I don't have the gift of gab in that respect, but do work in a field where I have to talk to numerous people who are suicidal, depressed, etc....and so far no one has punched me out, so I must be doing something right there.

Don't get me started! I definitley have the gift of gab. I love to tell a story. I am usually the first to speak up in class or work when I feel that I have something to contribute to the conversation. Usually a joke. I am always considered the class clown. I find that humor breaks down people's barriers especially when I make myself the brunt of the joke.
