Ärende: Newfie Salesman
=======================
A young Newfoundlander moves to California and goes to a big mega-department 
store looking for a job. The manager says,  "Do  you  have  any sales 
experience? "

The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back  home  in Newfoundland." Well, 
the boss liked the Newfoundland kid (of course) so, he gave him the job. 
"You can 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 sales did you make today?" the 
boss asked. The kid  says,  "One."

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

The kid says,  "$101,237.64."

The boss  says, "$101,237.64? What 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 that 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 4 x 4 Blazer."

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

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