A keen country lad applied for a salesperson's job at a city
department store. In fact, it was the biggest store in the
world. You could get anything there.
The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a salesperson before?"
"Yes, I was a salesperson in the country," said the lad.
The boss took an immediate liking to him and said, "You can
start tomorrow and I'll come and see you when we close up."
The day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5
o'clock came around. The boss duly closed up and asked the
lad, "How many sales did you make today?".
"One," said the young salesperson.
"Only one?" blurted the boss, "Most of my staff make 20 or 30
sales a day.
How much was the sale worth?".
"Three hundred thousand, one hundred and thirty-four dollars!"
said the young man.
"How did you manage that?" asked the flabbergasted boss.
"Well," said the salesperson, "this man came in and I sold him
a small fish hook, then a medium hook, and finally a really
large hook. Then I sold him a small fishing line, a medium
one, and a huge big one.
I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the
coast. I told him he would probably need a boat, so I took him
down to the boat department and sold him that twenty-foot
schooner with the twin engines.
Then he said his Honda Civic probably wouldn't be able to pull
it, so I took him to the vehicle department and sold him a new
Ford Expedition."
The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, "You
sold all that to a guy who came in for a fishhook???"
"No...." answered the salesperson. "He didn't come in to buy a
fish hook. He came in to buy a box of Tampons for his wife,
and I said to him, 'Your weekend's shot, you might as well go
fishin'!"
