Salesman from Nebraska
A young guy from Nebraska moves to Los Angeles and goes to a big 'everything under one roof' department store looking for a job.
The Manager says, 'Do you have any sales experience?'
'Yeah. I was a salesman back in Omaha .'
Well, the manager liked the kid and gave him a job. 'You'll start tomorrow, I'll be 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 closed, the boss came down.
'How many customers bought something from you today?
The kid says, 'One'.
'Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day.
How much was the sale for?'
The kid says, '$101,237.65'.
'$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?'
'First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. 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.'
'Let me get this straight,' say's the boss
'A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?'
'No, the guy came in here to buy tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing.'
