Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing...

The New Salesman

A young guy from Upper Peninsula  Michigan moves to Florida 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 vacuum salesman back in Ironwood, Michigan."

Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he'd give him a shot, so he 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 to the sales floor.

"How many customers bought something from you today?" The kid frowns and looks at the floor and mutters, "One". The boss says "Just one?!!? Our sales people average sales from 20 to 30 customers a day. That will have to change, and soon, if you'd like to continue your employment here. We have very strict standards for our sales force here in Florida . One sale a day might have been acceptable in Michigan, but you're not on the farm anymore, son."

The kid took his beating, but continued to look at his shoes, so the boss felt kinda bad for chewing him out on his first day. He asked (semi-sarcastically), "So, how much was your one sale for?"

The kid looks up at his boss and says "$101,237.65".

The boss, astonished, says, "$101,237.65?!? What the heck did you sell?"

The kid says, "Well, first, I sold him some new fish hooks. Then I sold him a new fishing rod to go with his new hooks. 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 Ford 4x4 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.........'"

Four Guys on a Fishing Trip

Every now and then you get a nice clean joke that makes you laugh and warrants forwarding....   Four guys were on a fishing trip in northern Quebec, and slept two to a tent.   No one wanted to share a tent with Bob, because he snored so loudly.   They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.   The first night, Mike, slept with Bob and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot.   They said, "Mike, what happened to you?"   He said, "Bob snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."   The next night it was Larry's turn.  In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot.   They said, "Larry , what happened to you?  You look awful!"   He said, 'Man, that Bob shakes the tent with his snoring.  I watched him all night."   The third night was Fred's turn.  Fred was a tanned, older cowboy, a man's man.   The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.   "Good morning!" he said.  They couldn't believe it.   They said, "Fred, what happened?"   He said, "Well, we got ready for bed.  I went and tucked Bob into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed him good night.  "Bob sat up and watched me all night.”
