A young guy from Missouri moves to Florida 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 in Missouri."
Well, the boss liked the kid and 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?" he asked.
The kid says "One".
The boss says "Just one?! Our sales people average 20 to 30 sales a day.
How much was the sale for?"
The kid says "$101,237.65".
The boss says "$101,237.65?" What the heck did
you sell?
The kid says, "First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him
a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new
fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down
the coast.So I told him he was going to need a boat, and we went down to the
boat department, and I sold him a 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 Expedition."
The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT
and a TRUCK?"
The kid said, "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampax for his wife and I said,
'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing'!!"
