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?
"?124,237.64" said the Aussie lad.
The manager choked and exclaimed "?124,237.64!" 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-engine 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
girlfriend and I said........Well, since your weekend's f****d anyway, you might as well go fishing."
