A country lad applied for a salesman's job at a large city department store. You
could buy almost anything there.
The manager asked him, "Have you ever been a salesman before?"
"Yes, I was a salesman at a small country store" said the lad.
The boss liked the look of him and said, "You can start tomorrow and I'll come by and see you before we close up."
The first day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally an hour before closing time came.
The manager true to his word appeared and asked, "How many sales did you make today?"
"One", said the young salesman.
"Only one!" blurted out the manager. " Most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was your one sale worth?"
"Three hundred thousand, three hundred and thirty-four dollars" said the young man.
The manager was completely surprised. "How did you manage that lad?" he asked.
"Well", said the new salesman, "this man came in and I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium hook and finally a really large hook.
Then I sold him a small fishing line, a medium one and then a huge big one. I then asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast.
and I said he would probably need a boat, so I took him down to the boat department and sold him that twenty-foot schooner with the twin engines."
" Then he said his Volkswagen probably wouldn't be able to pull it, so I took him to the car department and sold him the used Jeep wrangler you had on display!".
The manager took two steps back and asked in astonishment, "You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook?"
"No," answered the salesman.
"He came in to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said to him, "Your fun weekend is already shot, you may as well go fishing."

A man and wife entered a dentist's office.
The Wife said, "I want a tooth pulled. I don't want gas or Novocain because I'm
in a terrible hurry. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible."
"You're a brave woman," said the dentist.
"Now, show me which tooth it is."
The wife turns to her husband and says, "Open your mouth and show the dentist which tooth it is, dear."
