A young Aussie lad moved to London and went to Harrods
looking for a job.
The manager asked "Do you have any sales experience?"
The kid answered
"Yeah, I was a salesman back home." Well, the manager
liked the kid, so he gave him the job.
His first day on the job was challenging and busy, but
he got through it.
After the store was locked up, the manager came down
and asked the kid
"OK, so how many sales did you make today?"
The kid said "One." The manager groaned and continued
"Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day.
How much was the sale for?" The kid replied £22,237.64.
The manager choked and exclaimed
£22,237.64? What the hell did you sell him?"
The kid said "Well, first I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium
fish
hook, and 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 would need a boat, so we went down to the boat
department
and I
sold him that twin-engined Power Cat.
Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would
pull it, so I took him down to car sales and I sold
him the 4 x 4 Suzuki".
The manager, incredulous, said "You mean to tell me...
a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and
4x4?"
The kid said "No no no......he came in here to buy a
box of tampons for his lady friend and I said... "Well, since your
weekend's
f**ked, you might as well go fishing."
