A young guy from Missouri moves to Florida and goes to a big everything-under-one-roof department store looking for a job.

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

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

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. "

The first day on the job was rough, but the new employee got through it.

After the store was locked up, the boss came down.

"How many sales did you make today?"

"One."

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

"$101,237.65."

"$101,237.65? What the heck 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 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 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 Expedition 4x4."

The boss was stunned. He said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?"

"No, the guy came in here to buy tampons for his wife and I said, 'Well, your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing.'"
