Sales Pitch
Jack's first military assignment was to a military induction center, and because he was a good talker they assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about the government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled.
Before long the Captain in charge of the induction center began noticing that Jack was getting almost 100% sign up for the top GI insurance. This was odd, because it would cost these poor inductees nearly $30.00 per month more for their higher coverage than what the government was already granting. The Captain decided that he would not ask Jack about his selling techniques but that he would sit in the back of the room and observe Jack's sales pitch.
Jack stood up before his latest group of inductees and stated, "If you have the normal GI insurance and go to Iraq and get killed, the government pays your beneficiary $6,000. If you take out the supplemental GI insurance, which costs you only $30.00 a month extra , the government has to pay your beneficiary $200,000.
"Now," Jack concluded, "which bunch do you think they are gonna send to Iraq first?
