What a Salesman!

*The Super Store manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"**
*
*"Yeah, I was a salesman back in Minnesota," the kid answers.

Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him a 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."

"Just one? Our sales people average twenty to thirty customers a day.
How much was the sale for?"

The kid says, "$101,237.65".

The boss responds, "$101,237.65?!" "What the heck did you sell?

*"

The kid answers, "First I sold him a small fishhook. Then I sold him a
medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him new
fishing rod. I asked him where he was going fishin' and he said 'down
the coast,' so I told him he was going to need a new 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 so I took him
down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition."

The boss said, "A guy comes in here to buy a fishhook 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!"*
