A young guy from North Dakota 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 vacuum salesman back in North Dakota." Well, the boss was

unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he'd give him a shot, so he 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 to the sales floor. "How many customers

bought something from you today?" The kid frowns and looks at the floor and

mutters, "One". The boss says "Just one?!!? Our sales people average sales

to 20 to 30 customers a day. That will have to change, and soon, if you'd like to

continue your employment here. We have very strict standards for our sales

force here in Florida. One sale a day might have been acceptable in North Dakota,

but you're not on the farm anymore, son."

The kid took his beating, but continued to look at his shoes, so the boss felt

kinda bad for chewing him out on his first day. He asked (semi - sarcastically), "So,

how much was your one sale for?" The kid looks up at his boss and says

"$101,237.65". The boss, astonished, says $101,237.65?!? What the heck did

you sell?"

The kid says, "Well, first, I sold him some new fish hooks. Then I sold him a new

fishing rod to go with his new hooks. 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, 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 it, so I took him down to the automotive

department and sold him that 4x4 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.........'"
