A young guy moves to Sydney and goes to a big 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." Well, the manager liked the kid, 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 manager came down. "How many sales did you make today?" The kid, "One." The manager, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?" The kid, "$101,237.64." The manager excitedly says, "$101,237.64? What the hell did you sell him!?"

The kid, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. 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 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 wheel drive Jeep." The manager, "You mean a guy came in here to buy a fishhook and you sold him a boat and truck?!"

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