Subject: What a salesman!


> A young guy from Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma."
> 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.
> You're going to have to improve considerably or look for another job! How
> much
> was the sale for?"
> The kid says, "$112,237.64."
> The boss says, "$112,237.64?! 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 lake,
so
> I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat
department
> and I sold him a new bass boat. 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 new Ford pick-up. I asked him how long he was going to be out at the
> lake and after he said 5 or
> 6 days I took him down to the RV department and sold him a slide-in camper
> for the truck."
> The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a
> boat, a truck and a camper?"
> 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.'"
