Joke of the day

[Guest SUNTZU]

Got this in an email today.

A young guy from North Dakota 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 North

Dakota." 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. "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 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

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.'"
