A keen immigrant Indian had applied for a salesman's job downtown department store. In fact, it was the biggest store in the world- you could get anything there.
The boss asked him,"Have you ever been a salesman before?"
"yes sir, I was salesman in India", replied the man. The boss liked the cut of him and said, "you can start tomorrow and I will come and see you"
The day was long and arduous for the young man, but he got through it. And finally 6.00pm came around. The boss duly fronted up and asked, "How many sales did you make today?"
"Sir, just one sale", said the young salesman.
"only one...?", blurted the boss
"NO!NO! you see here, most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. If you want to keep your job, you'd better be doing better than just one sale. By the way how much was the sale worth?" , boss asked.
"3,37,000 pounds..", said the salesman.
"What! how did you manage that?" asked the flabbergasted boss.
"Well, This man come in and I sold him small fish hook, medium fish hook and large fish hook. Then I sold new fishing rod and some fishing gear. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast. So, I told him he'd be needing a boat. I took him to the boat department and sold him that twenty-foot schooner with the twin engines. Then he said his Volkswagen probably wouldn't be automotive department and sold him that new deluxe 4*4 blazer. I then asked him where he will be staying, and since he had no accommodation, I took him to camping department and sold him one of those new igloo 6-sleeper camper tents. The guy said, while we were at it , I should throw about 100$ worth of groceries and two cases of beer."
The boss stepped two steps back and asked in astonishment,"you sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook!!"
"No", answered salesman.
Continued,"he came to buy a headache relief tablet and i said that fishing is the best remedy for headache"
BOSS- "please sit my chair!!"
