True Tales: Passing the Sniff Test

I worked with a salesman for 25 years and once witnessed him working a customer. The client had asked him if, in his professional opinion, a piece of jewelry she had purchased was really gold. He studied it for a while and than very seriously proceded to sniff it. And replied why yes, it was. The customer thought this perfectly acceptable since we use the scratch the pearl on the teeth method! It was incredibly funny.
