a keen country boy applied for a salesman’s job at a city department store in the area-you could get anything there. the boss asked him, ‘have you ever been a salesman before?'
yes, I was a salesman in the country, ‘said the lad. the boss thought he’d give the boy a chance and said, ‘you can start now. I’ll come by at five o'clock and see how you are doing.'
the day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5 o'clock came around. the boss arrived and asked, 'how many sales did you make today?'
'one, ‘said the young salesman
'only one?' blurted the boss. 'most of my staff usually make over 30 sales a day. how much was the sales worth?'
"forty one thousand, two hundred and sixty eight dollars, ‘said the young man
'how did you manage that?' asked the flabbergasted boss
'well, ‘said the young salesman, ‘this man came in and I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium hook and finally a really large hook. then I sold him a small fishing line, a medium one and a huge one. I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast. I said he would probably need a boat, so I took him down to the boating department and sold him that twenty-foot schooner with the twin engines. Then he said his little hatchback probably wouldn’t be able to pull it, so I took him to the car department and sold him a new car.’
The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, ‘you sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook?’
‘no, ’answered the salesman. ‘actually, he came in to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said to him, “your weekends shot, you may as well go fishing.”
