An old man from Alabama moved to New York

An old man from Alabama moved to New York and decided to look for work.

He walked into a massive department store and asked for a job.

The manager, intrigued, asked, “Do you have any sales experience?”

The man nodded confidently, “Yes, sir. I was a salesman back home in Alabama.”

The manager liked his enthusiasm and hired him. “You start tomorrow. I’ll check in after we close to see how you did.”

The first day was tough, but the old man persevered.

At the end of the day, the manager came to check on him. “So, how many customers did you sell to?”

The man smiled and said, “Just one.”

 

The manager was furious. “One?! Our salespeople average 20 to 30 customers a day! How much was the sale for?”

The old man replied, “$121,237.65.

The manager’s jaw dropped. “What on earth did you sell?!”

The old man explained, “Well, first, I sold him a small fishhook.

Then a medium fishhook. Then a larger one. After that, I sold him a fishing rod.

He mentioned going fishing on the coast, so I took him to the boat section, and he bought a twin-engine Boston Whaler. Then he realized his Honda Civic couldn’t tow it, so I sold him a truck.”

The manager, still in shock, asked, “A man came in for a fishhook, and you sold him a boat and a truck?!”

The old man grinned. “No, sir. He actually came in to buy t.a.m.p.o.n.s for his wife. I just said, ‘Your weekend’s shot—you might as well go fishing.’”

The next day, the old man got a promotion.

LOL!!

Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!
