I figured that if kids that looked this goofy could sell seeds then so could I. Not a chance! My mom bought some and then I was stuck with the rest.

I remember going door-to-door and getting looks that said "Hey kid, don't be stupid" so I sort of got the message that I sucked as a seed salesman. I was a seasoned door-to-door salesman by then so I knew that my technique was okay, it was just that the product wasn't right. It could have been the price or the packaging or the time of year but in any event I couldn't give these things away.
