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 onthe 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 didyou 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"
The manager choked and exclaimed "124,237.64 POUNDS" What the hell did you
sell him?"
"Well, first I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook, andthen
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 aboat, so we went
down to the boat department and I sold him that twin-engined 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 hereto
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 ladyfriend
and I said......... Well, since your weekend's f**ked, you might as well go
fishing."
The manager asked "Do you have any sales experience?"
