The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"
The man, "Yeah, I’ve been a salesman all my life."
The boss liked him, 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 shop was locked up, the boss came down.? "How many sales did you make today?"
The salesman says, "One."
The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?"
"£50, 237. 64."
"£50, 237. 64?? What the hell did you sell him?"
"First I sold him a some fish hooks. Then I sold him a new fishing rod.?Then I asked him where he was going fishing, and he saiddown at the coast, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we wentdown to the boat department, and I sold him that big twin engine job. Then he said he didn’t think his Honda Civic would pull it, so Itook him down to the car department and sold him a 4×4 Land Rover."
The boss said, "Somebody came in here to buy fish hooks and you sold him aboat and 4×4?"
"No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife, andI said, "Well, since your weekend’s f*cked, you may as well go fishing."
