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 average20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale
for?"
"$101,237.64." The Aussie replied.
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 wife
and I said.........
'Well, since your weekend's ruined, you might as well go fishing."
