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 young man
answered
"Yeah, I was a salesman back home."
The manager liked the Aussie 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 "OK, so
how
many sales did you make today?" The Aussie
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?"
"£101,237.64."
The manager choked and exclaimed "£101,237.64? What the hell did you
sell
him?"
"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?"
"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."
