A chinaman moves to Montreal , Canada and goes to a big department
store looking for a job. The manager asks, 'Do you have any sales
experience?'
The man says, 'Yeah, I was a salesman back home'. Well, the manager
liked the young man, so he gave him the job. 'You start tomorrow.
I'll come
down after we close and see how you did, but let me give you a bit of
advice. If a customer comes looking, say, for toothpaste, you might
suggest for
him a toothbrush, or shaving cream etc. You get the idea?'
'Of course,' the young man said.
His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the
store was locked up, the manager came down. 'How many sales did you
make
today?
The man says, 'One' The manager groans, 'Just one? Our sales people
average 20 or 30 sales per day. How much was the sale for?' The man
says,
'$101,237.64 .' The manager exclaims, 'What? $101,237.64? What did
you
sell him?'
The man replied, 'First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him
a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold
him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing,
and he said down at 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 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 that 4X4 Pajero.'
The manager says 'You mean a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and
you sold him a boat and truck?!'
The man says, 'No, no, no, he came in here to buy a box of Kotex for
his wife and I said,'Well, since your weekend's already screwed up
you
might as well go fishing.'
