A young guy from Nebraska 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 Omaha."
Well, the boss likes the kid and gives him the job. "You start tomorrow.
I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job is rough, but he gets through it. After the
store is locked up, the boss comes down. "How many customers bought
something from you today?"
The kid says, "One".
The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers 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, so 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 Tampons for his wife,
and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing..."
