It's probably an old one, but I never heard it before.

A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big department
store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any sales
experience?" The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas."
Well, the boss liked the kid, so he 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 sales did you make today?" The kid says, "One." The boss
says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was
the sale for?" Kid says, "$101,237.64." Boss says, "$101,237.64? What did
you
sell him?" Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a
medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. 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 gonna 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 Blazer." The boss said, "A guy
came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?"Kid says,
"No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife, and I said,
'Well,
since your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing.'"
