Billy Bob had finally decided it was time to sell his old pickup truck. The problem was, the thing had over 250,000 miles on the odometer and looked like it had lived through three wars and a tornado. Every buyer who came by took one look at the mileage, shook their head, and walked away. Weeks went by with no luck, and Billy Bob was getting desperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day at work, while stacking shelves at Walmart, Billy Bob told his coworker about his problem. His friend listened carefully, scratched his chin, and said, \u201cWell\u2026 there is<\/em> a way to make it easier to sell. But it\u2019s not exactly legal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Billy Bob didn\u2019t even hesitate. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d he said. \u201cI really need to sell this truck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The friend leaned in and whispered, \u201cJust roll the odometer back to about 50,000 miles. Nobody will ever know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Billy Bob thought about it for a moment, then grinned. That night, he went home, fiddled with the odometer, and sure enough \u2014 the next morning it read a clean, beautiful 50,000 miles. Two days later, a buyer showed up, loved the truck, and paid cash on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A week later, Billy Bob ran into his Walmart friend again. \u201cDid you sell the truck?\u201d the friend asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSure did!\u201d Billy Bob said proudly. \u201cGot a great price for it too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, that\u2019s great,\u201d the friend replied. \u201cSo\u2026 what did the buyer say about the mileage?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Billy Bob laughed and said, \u201cOh, I didn\u2019t sell it to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The friend looked confused. \u201cThen what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Billy Bob smiled and said, \u201cI decided to keep it. I\u2019ve never owned a truck with only 50,000 miles before!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Billy Bob had finally decided it was time to sell his old pickup truck.
