A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big "everything
under one roof" department store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do
you
have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home
in Texas." Well, the boss liked the kid so he gave him the job. "You start
tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store
was
locked up, the boss came down. "How many sales did you make today?" The kid
says, "One." The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30
sales a day. How much was the sale for?" The kid says, "$101,237.64." The
boss says, "$101,237.64? What the hell did you sell?"
Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish
hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod.
Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast,
so
I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department
and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think
his
Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department
and sold him that 4X4 Blazer."
The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a
boat
and truck?" Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his
wife and I said, 'Well, your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing.'"
