A Real Salesman!!

A young fellow from Saskatchewan moves to Edmonton, goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.

The manager asks, "Do you have any sales experience?"

The kid replies, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Prince Albert."

Well, the boss liked the kid so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close to see how you did."

His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, true to his word, the boss came down.

"How many sales did you make today?"

The kid says, "Just one."

The boss says, "Just one?!? Our sales people average 20 to 30 sales a day. You're going to have to improve considerably or look for another job!" He paused for a moment and asked, "How much was the sale for?"

The kid replied,"$112,237.64."

The boss exclaimed,"$112,237.64! What the hell did you sell?"

Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the lake, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a new 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 new Dodge pick-up. I asked him how long he was gonna be out at the lake and after he said 5 or 6 days I took him down to the RV department and sold him a slide-in camper for the truck."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat, a truck and a camper?"

The kid replied, "Actually no, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, 'Well, your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing."
