A young Newfoundlander moves to California and goes to a Big mega-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 Newfoundland."
Well, the boss liked the Newfoundland kid so he gave him the job. "You can 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 ales did you make today?" the boss asked. The kid said, "One."
The boss was surprised, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for."
The kid replied, $101,237.64."
The boss was stunned. "$101,237.64? What did you sell?"
The kid said, "It started with a small fishhook. Which became a medium fishhook. Then a larger fishhook, and 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 he picked out the 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 he got a 4 x 4 Blazer."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?"
The kid said, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, "Well, your weekend's shot -- you might as well go fishing."
