A young guy from North Dakota moves to Florida and applies for a job at a big "everything under one roof" department store.
The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"
The kid says, "Yeah, I was a vacuum salesman back home."
Well, the manager was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he'd give him a shot. "you start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job was rough.
After the store was locked up for the night the manager came down to the sales floor and asked, "How many customers bought something from you today?"
The kid looks at the floor and mutters, "one".
The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average sales to 20 to 30 customers per day. You'll have to do better if you want to keep working here. One sale per day may have been okay for door-to-door vacuum sales but not here."
The kid took his beating continuing to look at his shoes so the manager felt a little sorry for chewing him out on his first day. So the manager asked, "How much was your sale for?"
The kid looks up at the boss and says. "$101,237.65".
The manager was astonished and asks, "What the heck did you sell?"
The kid says, "Well, first, I sold him some new fish hooks. Then I sold him a new fishing rod to go with his new hooks. 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. We went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he was worried about his Honda Civic being able to pull the boat so I took him to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition."
The manager asks, "A guy came in here to buy fish hooks and you sold him a boat and an Expedition?"
The kid responds, "No, the guy came in here to buy some tampons for his wife, and I said, Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing."
