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. How much was the sale for?"
The Indian says, "$101, 237.64 ."
The manager exclaims, "What? $101,237.64? 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 department and sold him that 4X4 Pajero Sports."
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 say since your weekend's already screwed up you might as
well go fishing." 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
