Girl: Hey, check it out! I got an interview for that job I was telling you about.
World: Well, well...are you ready?
Girl: Yeah, I think so.
World: You think so? How do you expect to sell yourself with those words?
Girl: Ugh - I don't want to have to sell myself.
World: Why not? It's the American way...you've got to channel your inner PT Barnum.
Girl: My inner PT Barnum?
World: Greatest salesman there ever was.
Girl: But I'm no PT Barnum.
World: You don't have to BE him just THINK like him.Say to yourself, "I Am PT Barnum" and really own those words. You will immediately feel a difference in yourself when you speak to people.
Girl: (skeptical look)
World: Oh come one, just try.
Girl: I am ...pt barnum.
World: Oh, must I do everything? Like this...
I AM PT BARNUM and I CAN SELL YOU... THE WORLD!![GASP!]
Girl: Wow [pause] another modern day sellout - gosh that PT is slick!
World: [grumble] I didn't see that coming.
Girl: [sigh] Nobody ever does.
