A Fish Story...
A young guy from Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin."
Well, the manager 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 manager 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 manager 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 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."
The manager 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.
