A young guy from Texas moves to Washington and goes to a big department store looking for a job.

The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"

The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas."

Well, the boss liked the kid so he 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 sales did you make today?"

Kid says, "One."

The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How
much was the sale for?"

Kid says "$81,237.64"

Boss says "$81,237.64? What the heck did you sell?"

Kid says, "First I sold this guy a fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing, and he said down to 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 Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him a 2001 4X4 Blazer."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat
and truck?"

Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I
said, 'Well, your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing.'"

That is a good one. I always end up buying tons fishing stuff when I am planning to get one simple thing. It's an adiction.
