Born salesman

Jared: So I got this great bottle of cleaner at work. It has an acid in it that eats soap scum off of everything.

Me: Wow. That sounds great.

(a few hours later)

Jared: Hey, come in here and check this out. Look - this stuff is eating away at the scum!

Me: That is pretty cool.

Jared: You know what else? We have this drain cleaner with an enzyme in it -- you have to keep it in the fridge because it's a living organism. The enzymes eat up whatever is clogging your drain.

Me: OK, are you just practicing your sales techniques on me, or are you really this enthusiastic?

Jared: (acting offended) I'm serious -- this stuff is great.

Me: OK, whatever you say.
