A young guy from Mississippi moves to Florida and goes to a big 'everthing under one roof ' dept. store looking for a job. The manager says ' do you have any sales experience? The kid says ' Yeah I was a salesman back in Mississippi. Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him a 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 locked up, the boss came down, ' how many customers bought something from you today? The kid says 'one'. The boss says ' just one'? Our sales people average 20 or 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for? The kid says $121.237.65 The boss says $121.237.65 What the hell did you sell? The kid says, first I sold him a small fish hook, then I sold him amedium fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. 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 dept., and I sold him a twin engine Boston Whaler. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the auto dept. and sold him that 4+4 Expedition. The boss says ' a guy comes in here to buy a fish hook, and you sell him a truck and boat ? The kid says ' no, the guy came in here to buy some Tampons for his wife. I told him ' Dude your weekend's shot, you should go fishing'
