A young guy from Texas moves to New York City and goes into a big department store looking for a job. The manager asks him, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid replied that he had been a salesman back home in Texas. The boss like the kid so he gave him a job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
The first day on the job was rough but the kid got through it. After the store was locked up for the night, the boss came down. "How many sales did you make today?" The guy said, "One." The boss said, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?" The kid says, "$201,237.64." The boss asks him what the heck he sold.
"Well, this guy comes in. First, I sold him a small fishhook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a large fishhook. 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. We went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Mercedes could pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him an Escalade."
The boss says, "A guy came in here to buy a fishhook and you sold him a boat and a truck?"
"The kid says, "Naw, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said 'your weekend's already shot, you might as well go fishing.'"
