What exactly is the "travelling salesman joke"?

Question

From my understanding, this isn't exactly G-rated stuff, so a link would be good. I've heard about travelling salesman jokes and twists of travelling salesman jokes, but I've never heard a real travelling salesman joke.

Thanks!

Answer 1

There are virtually thousands of them, One is the travelling vacuum cleaner salesman who lobbed at a woman's door.
Without giving her a chance to say no, he was quickly inside giving his spiel about how great his vacuum cleaners were.
Finally, he grabbed a brown bag and emptied its contents all over the lady's carpet.
It had every imaginable muck you could think of in it.
"I know what you're thinking Madam," said the salesman. "But don't despair, if our cleaner doesn't make it spotless, I'll eat every bit of it."
With that, the lady left the room, heading to the kitchen.
"Are you going to get your cheque book?" asked the Salesman.
"No, a knife and a fork, the power was cut off yesterday," replied the lady.

Answer 2

Well, this chap was selling Vacuum cleaners, he marches straight into a front door of a timid little lady with hardly an introduction & says 'I'm gonna show you how good these machines are.'
He proceeds to pour coffee granules and sugar on the floor.
'Stop' shrieks the lady.'It's alright, trust me,' smiles the salesman. (They always have a sickly smile right?)
Then he takes out a jar of treacle & adds to the mess by rubbing it hard into the lovely deep-pile carpet.
The lady is now sobbing & yelling him to stop.
however he ignores hers (holds up his hand) & adds to the mix with mud etc.
Next, He plugs his Vacuum into the socket, switches on & ........nothing happens.
The lady is now completely hysterical. 'I've been trying to tell you I only just moved here, they're not connecting my electric 'til next week.'

....Lame? ...Oh well it's the only Salesman joke I know.
