A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big department store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any experience?"

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

Well, the boss likes the kid so he gives him a job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

The next day, after the store's been locked up, the boss says, "How many sales did you make?"

The kid says, "Just one."

The boss says, "Just one?! Our salespeople average twenty to thirty sales a day! How much was the sale for?"

The kid grins and says, "$99,327.99."

The boss says, "$99,327.99? What the hell did you sell?"

The kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. 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 gonna need a boat; so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. The 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 Blazer."

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

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