Salesman from Montana
A young guy from Montana 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 Montana.'
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 to see him.
'How many customers bought something from you today?'
The kid says, 'One.'
The boss 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 boss says, '$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell
him?'
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 to Okeechobee,' so I told him he was going to
need a boat, so we went down to the boat department
and I sold him a 21 foot Bass Boat . 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 GMC Yukon Denali.'
The boss says, 'A guy came in here to buy a fish hook
and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK? Is that right?'
The kid answers, 'No, the guy came in here to buy
Tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's
shot; you should go fishin'.'
