Selling Irish Style

    A young Irish guy moves to Sydney and goes to a big department store looking
    for a job. The manager asks, "Do you have any sales experience?"

    The kid, "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 says, "One."

    The manager groans, "just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a
    day. How much was the sale for?".

    The kid says, "$101,237.64".

    The manager exclaims, "$101,237.64? What did you sell him?".

    The kid said, "first I sold him a small fish hook.
    Then I sold him a medium fish hook.
    Then I sold him a larger fish hook.
    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 4X4 Pajero."

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

    The kid replied, "no,no,no, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his
    wife and I said,"well, since your weekend's f**ked, you might as well go
    fishing."

    arrrrRRROOOOOOOOOOoooo...
