The Best Salesman on the Year!

An Indian moves to Montreal and goes to
a big department store looking for a job.

The manager asks, "Do you have any sales
experience? "

The Indian says, "Yeah, I was a salesman
back home".

Well, the manager liked the young man,
so he gave him the job. "You start
tomorrow. I'll come down after we close
and see how you did, but let me give you
a bit of advice. If a customer comes
looking, say, for toothpaste, you might
suggest for him
a toothbrush, or shaving cream etc. You
get the idea?"

"Of course," the young man said. 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 Indian says, "One"

The manager groans, "Just one? Our sales
people average 20 or 30 sales/day.

Ho w much was the sale for?"

The Indian says, "$101, 237.64."

The manager exclaims, "What?
$101,237.6 4? What did you sell him?"

The Indian replied, "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 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
depart ment and sold him that 4X4 Pajero."

The manager says "You mean a guy came in
here to buy a fish hook and you sold him
a boat and truck?!"

The Indian says, "No, no, no, he came in
here to buy a box of Kotex for his wife
and I said, "Well, since your weekend's
already screwed up you might as well go
fishing!!"

The manager fainted... +________+|||
