What's A young guy from Alaska moves to California
and goes to a big 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 Alaska."
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?" Kid says, "One."
The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30
sales a day. How much was the sale for?" Kid says "$101,237.64"
Boss says "101,237.64? 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 coast so I told him he was gonna
need a boat, so we went down to the boat department, and I sold
him that 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 Blazer."
The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you
sold him a boat and truck?"
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."
