This rather long winded joke was on a birthday card I bought for my nephew in a Spa in Leicester earlier this week.
A young man applies for his first job as a sales assistant in a department store.
The manager says do you think you can sell things "oh yes" he says.
At the end of the first day the manager approaches the young man and asked how many customers he made a sale to. "one" said the young man, "only one " said the manager "most of the other salespeople make between 20 and 30 sales a day, how much was this sale for"?
"£750,000" replied the young man
"750,000" what did you sell him?
"well first I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium one, then a carbon fibre fishing rod, then we talked about how the best fish were off land so I took him to our boat department and sold him a motor boat and then he realised he needed to transport it so i took him to our car department and sold him a brand new 4X4".
"Thats amazing you sold him all that when he only came in for a small fish hook".
"Well" said the young man, "he actually came in asking for a packet of tampons for his girlfriend, so I said as your weekends f***ked you may as well go fishing?"
