Jerry Jones applied to a debt-collecting agency for a job, even though he had no experience.
He was very intense, so the manager gave him a tough account with the promise that if he collected, he'd get the job.
Two hours later, Jerry returned – with the full amount!
"Amazing!" said the manager. "How on earth did you manage that?"
"Easy," replied Jerry, "I told him that if he didn't pay up, I'd tell all his other creditors he'd paid us."
