Gone Fishin'

A keen country lad applied for a salesman'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 salesman
before?"

"Yes, I was a salesman in the country," said the lad.
The boss liked the cut of 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 fronted up and asked, "How many sales did
you make today?"

"One" said the young salesman.

"Only one" blurted the boss, "Most of my staff make 20
or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale worth?"

"One hundred thousand, three hundred and thirty four
dollars" said the young man.

"How did you manage that?" asked the flabbergasted
boss.

"Well," said the salesman, "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 said 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
Volkswagen probably wouldn't be able to pull it, so I
took him to the car department and sold him the new
Deluxe Cruiser."

The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment,
"You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish
hook?"

"No," answered the salesman. "He came in to buy a box
of Tampons for his wife and I said to him,"Your
weekend's screwed, you may as well go fishing."
