This is a oldy but a goody. I remember this one a few years back but it still made me laugh today..
Timmy
One day, a young man goes to apply for a sales job at a major
department store. He tells the sales manager that he doesn't really have
any experience, but he is willing to try his hardest to learn. The
manager likes his attitude and decides to give the guy a chance.
At the close of business the next day, the sales manager decides
to stop in to see how the kid is doing on his first day.
He asks, "How many sales did you have today?"
The salesman answers, "One."
"How come only one," asks the manager. "Most of my salesman have
20-30 per day! How much was the one sale you made?"
The salesman answers, "$333,344.00"
"WHAT!?! What did you sell?"
"Well, a guy wanted a small fishing hook, so I sold him a medium
fishing hook, then I sold him a large fishing hook. Then he needed a
rod, so I sold him a light action rod, then upgraded to a medium action
rod, and then changed it to a fully balanced combo. Then I told him he
was going to need a boat, so I took him to the boating department and
sold him a 14-foot motor boat, then upgraded him to a 20-foot cabin
cruiser. Then I told him that his Volkswagen wouldn't be able to tow
the boat, so I took him to the car department and sold him a sport
utility vehicle."
"A guy came in for a fishing hook and you managed to sell him
all of that?" asked the manager.
"No, he came in for a box of tampons, and I said 'Hell, your
weekend is shot anyway, why not do some fishing?'
