A young Scottish guy moves to Sydney and goes to a big department store
looking for a job.
The manager asks, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid, "Yeah, I
was a salesman back home." Well, the manager liked the kid, 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 manager came down. "How many sales did you make
today?"
The kid says, "One."
The manager groans, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a
day. How much was the sale for?"
The kid says, "$101,237.64."
The manager exclaims, "$101,237.64?
What did you sell him?"
The kid, "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
coast, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat
department, and I sold him that twin engine - Chris Craft. 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 Pajero."
The manager says, "You mean a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and
you sold him a boat and truck?!"
The kid, "No no no, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife
and I said, "Well, since your weekend's f*cked, you might as well go
fishing."
