A young man from North Dakota moves to the east coast. He goes to one of those superstores where you can buy anything and applies for a job. The manager likes him and tells him to be here in the morning for his first day. At the end of the first day the manager looks up the young man and inquires how many customers he served that day. One was the answer. "ONE" the manager exclaims, you should have seen at least 20. Did you sell him anything? and if so for how much? $101,580.79 was the reply. What did you sell him? First I sold him a small hook, then a medium hook, then a large hook. Then I sold him a new rod and reel. When I asked where he was going to fish the customer replied up and down the coast so I sold him a Chris Craft boat and trailer. He then was concerned his Civic wouldn't pull it so I sold him the 4x4 Expedition. The manager couldn't believe it. Wow he said, he came in here to buy a small fishing hook and you sold him all that? The young man looked at his boss and said "no sir, he came in here to buy Tampons for his wife and I said Dude, your weekends shot, you should go fishing....."
