Fishing

[hot rod truck]

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." Hearing all this, the boss was totally

amazed and said, "so, a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and

you sold him a boat, a truck and a camper? Wow!"

 

The kid replied, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his

wife and I said, "well, your weekends's shot, you might as well go fishing.'"
