A keen country lad applied for a salesman's job at a city department
store. In fact it was the biggest store in the world - you could
getanything there. The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a salesman
before?", "Yes, I was a salesman in KANSAS", said the lad. The boss
liked the cut of him and said, "You can start tomorrow and I'll come and
see you when we close up".
The day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5 o'clock
came around. The boss duly fronted up and asked, "How many sales did you
make today?" "One" said the young salesman. "Only one?!" blurted the
boss. "Most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day!" "How much was the
sale worth??" "Three hundred thousand, three hundred and thirty
four dollars..." said the young man. "How did you manage that?!" asked
the flabbergasted boss.
"Well", said the salesman "this man came in and I sold him a small
fish hook, then a medium hook and finally a really large hook. Then I
sold him a small fishing line, a medium one and a huge big one.
I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast.
I said he would probably need a boat, so I took him down
to the boat department and sold him that twenty foot schooner with the
twin engines.Then he said his Volkswagon probably wouldn't be able to
pull it, so I took him to the car department and sold him the new Deluxe
Cruiser."
The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, You sold all
that to a guy who came in for a fish hook????!!!" "No" answered the
salesman, He came in to buy a box of Tampons for his wife and I said to
him, "Your weekend's fucked, you may as well go fishing".
