A young guy from North Carolina 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 vacuum salesman back in North Carolina."
Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he'd give him a shot, 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 to the sales floor.
"How many customers bought something from you today?" The kid frowns and looks at the floor and mutters,
"One". The boss says "Just one?!!? Our sales people average sales to 20 to 30 customers a day.
That will have to change, and soon, if you'd like to continue your employment here. We have very strict standards for our sales force here in Florida. One sale a day might have been acceptable in North Carolina, but you're not in the mountains anymore, son."
The kid took his beating, but continued to look at his shoes, so the boss felt kinda bad for chewing him out on his first day.
He asked (semi-sarcastically), "So, how much was your one sale for?"
The kid looks up at his boss and says "$101,237.65".
The boss, astonished, says $101,237.65?!? What the heck did you sell?"
The kid says, "Well, first, I sold him some new fish hooks. Then I sold him a new fishing rod to go with his new hooks. 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

I heard this with a couple of twists...the salesman was a harelip,( the guy did the voice) and Eagle Claw hooks....”Best damn hook you can buy.”... figured heavily in the telling. One of those jokes that can go on forever....

Yeah, I call it fishy.
No way a guy goes to a store to buy tampons for the wife.
Great joke!

Good one...
Guy goes into the bar looking for a job.
Owner likes what he sees, goes over the schedule and says
“I will give you 500 a week”
“Sounds good BOSS, I will take 500 a week”
An audit comes up 4 weeks later and no one can figure out where the 2000 shortage was from.
Thanks for the early morning laugh.
The rest of the day will probably be downhill...
But it's a classic.
Don’t be too sure.
Well shoot - the morning started out lousy but this sure perked me up. Thanks..
This is something completely different, but funny anyway.
It’s about a minute long
That’s not a man, that’s only
wife’s errand boy.
Many years ago, my new bride ask me to go to the grocer’s for a box of Super Tampax. I was embarrassed, and hurriedly grabbed a box that did not have a price label. At check-out the clerk looked for a label and, not finding one, got on the PA and shouted, “Price check on register 4, box of 24 Super Tampax!” Ruined my year.
His name would be cigarette.
How does a dog with no nose smell?
Awful!
Did they have TV back then?
Was there color TV back then?
More importantly were there car's back then? /s
I will not divulge that I was born in 1953.
I figured I'd share some of the question's I get from the grand-kids. It just seemed that I had to share.
