Subject: The Salesman
A young fellow 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.
LOL my wife found this it was new to me...CYA
