He walked into a massive department store and asked for a job.<\/p>\n
The manager, intrigued, asked, \u201cDo you have any sales experience?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man nodded confidently, \u201cYes, sir. I was a salesman back home in Alabama.\u201d<\/p>\n
The manager liked his enthusiasm and hired him. \u201cYou start tomorrow. I\u2019ll check in after we close to see how you did.\u201d
\nThe first day was tough, but the old man persevered.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, the manager came to check on him. \u201cSo, how many customers did you sell to?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man smiled and said, \u201cJust one.\u201d<\/p>\n
The manager was furious. \u201cOne?! Our salespeople average 20 to 30 customers a day! How much was the sale for?\u201d<\/p>\n
The old man replied, \u201c$121,237.65.\u201d<\/p>\n
The manager\u2019s jaw dropped. \u201cWhat on earth did you sell?!\u201d<\/p>\n
The old man explained, \u201cWell, first, I sold him a small fishhook.<\/p>\n
Then a medium fishhook. Then a larger one. After that, I sold him a fishing rod. He mentioned going fishing on the coast, so I took him to the boat section, and he bought a twin-engine Boston Whaler. Then he realized his Honda Civic couldn\u2019t tow it, so I sold him a truck.\u201d<\/p>\n
The manager, still in shock, asked, \u201cA man came in for a fishhook, and you sold him a boat and a truck?!\u201d<\/p>\n
The old man grinned. \u201cNo, sir. He actually came in to buy t.a.m.p.o.n.s for his wife. I just said, \u2018Your weekend\u2019s shot\u2014you might as well go fishing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The next day, the old man got a promotion.<\/p>\n
LOL!!<\/p>\n
