A young guy from South Louisiana moves to New York and goes to a big everything under one roof' department store looking for a job.

The Manager says, 'Do you have any sales experience?'

The kid says 'Yeah. I was a salesman back in Louisiana.'

Well, the boss liked the kid and 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 customers bought something from you today?'

The kid says 'One.'

The boss says 'Just one?' 'Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a
day.

How much was the sale for?'

The kid says '$121,237.65.'

The boss says '$121,237.65? What the world did you sell?'

That is more than most sales people in this department sell in 6 months!

The kid says, 'First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod.

Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down 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 a Boston Whaler. 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 4 x 4 Expedition.'

The boss said, 'A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK ?'

The kid said 'No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife,' and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing.'

great story!!

there is a hidden message in that funny story. it illustrates the slippery slope of overconsumption.

the sequel to the story is that the guy buys it all on credit, and gets everything reposessed. so in the end, his wife left for the bayou kid.

Abandon ship!!!

Run away!!!

No good can come of this!!!

I think I'll go to a religion thread where I am safe.

You can run but you can not hide.....the "fair" could be a reference to her complexion vs. her complexity. Ha!

Yeah, except he would either be bailed out or go bankrupt. Either way he keeps the spoils!
