Joke
Body: A young guy from Missouri 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 Missouri."
Well, the boss 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 said, "one".
The boss said, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day.
How much was the sale for?"
The kid said, "$101,237.65."
The boss said, "$101, 237.65? What t he heck did you sell?"
The kid said, "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, and 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 4 x 4 Ford Expedition."
The boss 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.' "
