Friday Fishing Joke

[Her Winston]

Someone sent this to me. Thought it was cute and should share it. I have been saying that this whole week was shot and I should go fishing but my supervisor didn't agree with me.


A young guy from Iowa moves to Florida and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job. The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says "Yeah. I was a salesman back in Iowa."

Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll
come down after we close and see how you did. His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down.

"How many customers bought something from you today?"

The kid says "one".

The boss says "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day.
How much was the sale for?"

The kid says "$101,237.65".

The boss says "$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?"

The kid says, "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 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 a 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 Expedition."

The boss said "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT
and a TRUCK?"

The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife, and I
said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing.'

Right Rick - I've read a letter written that my ancestors wrote back to family in Scotland a couple hundred years ago. To paraphrase it says, "You have to come to Iowa. In the winter it gets so cold that you are sure you are going to freeze to death - then it warms up. In the springs the floods come and just as you think everything will wash away, it stops raining. Then it gets hot and just as you think everything will burn up - it rains... and the whole time the crops grow like you could only dream of."

I'm still here.
