A young guy from Louisiana moves to Florida and goes to a big
"everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.
The Sales Manager says, " Do you have any sales experience?"
The kid says "Yeah. I was a salesman back in Louisiana ."
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.
The boss says, "You had just one customer? 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, "Well, first, I sold him some small fish hooks. Then I sold him some medium fishhooks. Then I sold him
some larger fishhooks. 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 loaded 4x4 Expedition."
The boss said incredulously, "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..."
