David can sell

A young man named David from Ohio moves to Florida and goes to a big “everything under one roof” department store looking for employment.

The Manager says, “Do you have any sales experience?” David says “Yeah. I was a salesman back in Ohio.”

Well, the boss liked David and 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 boss came down. “How many customers bought something from you today?”

David says “One”.

The boss says “Just One? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?”

David says “$121,455.20?.

The boss says “$121,455.20? What the heck did you sell?”

David says, “First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold hi m a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. 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 department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. 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 4×4 Expedition.”

The boss said, “A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?”

David said “No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife, and I said, ‘Dude, your weekend is shot, you should go fishing.’ “
