A dose of Chinese mustard can bring tears to the eyes, and sympathy from potential customers. That's a lesson learned by a ten-year-old Joe Amedeo, the doctor of sales, in one of his earlier sales jobs, peddling newspapers on the streets (and in the bars) of Bayonne, New Jersey. Birth of a Salesman recounts Joe's earliest days, shining shoes, delivering newspapers from the running board of a moving truck, and a recipe for recreating the Hindenburg disaster using a large plastic bag, a cotton ball, and some alcohol. Selling kitchen cutlery door-to-door presented its own brand of danger, as when a young couple broke into a fight in the middle of a sales demonstration, and one of the knives ended up embedded in a wall Along the way there were vacuum cleaner sales (including one in non-translated Polish) and the story of how a bicycle collision with a headless chicken tripled the business for a local butcher. Not to mention some very hair-raising episodes with mausoleums that would scare the snot out of any seasoned horror fan. All culminating with some real solid experienced sales techniques thrown in. The fun is all inside.... Birth of a Salesman Amedeo, Joseph / Amedeo, Joseph / Amedeo D. O. S., Dr Joseph<
