Salesman of The Year

An Indian moves to Montreal and goes to a big department store looking
for a job.

The manager asks, 'Do you have any sales experience?'

The Indian says, 'Yeah, I was a salesman back home'.

Well, the manager liked the young man, so he gave him the job. 'You
start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did, but
let me give you a bit of advice. If a customer comes looking, say, for
toothpaste, you might suggest for him a toothbrush, or shaving cream
etc. You get the idea?

'Of course,' the young man said. His first day on the job was rough
but he got through it.

After the store was locked up, the manager came down. 'How many sales
did you make today?

The Indian says, 'One'

The manager groans, 'Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30
sales/day.'

How much was the sale for?'

The Indian says, '$101, 237.64.'

The manager exclaims, 'What? $101,237.64? What did you sell him?'

The Indian replied, 'First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold
him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold
him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing,
and he said down at 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 that 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 Pajero.'

The manager says 'You mean a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and
you sold him a boat and truck?!'

The Indian says, 'No, no, no, he came in here to buy a box of Kotex
for his wife and I said, 'Well, since your weekend's already screwed
up you might as well go fishing!!'

one of the trees, so he left his whole basket of hats by the side. A
few hours later, he woke up and realized
that all his hats were gone.

He looked up and to his surprise, the tree was full of monkeys and
they had taken all his hats. he sits down and thinks of how he can get
the hats down. While thinking he started to scratch his head. The next
moment, the monkeys were doing the same.

idea came to him, he took his hat and threw it on the floor and the
monkeys did that too. So he finally managed to get all his hats back.

heard this monkey story from his grandfather. One day, just like his
grandfather, he passed by the same forest. It was very hot, and he
took a nap under the same tree and left the hats on the floor.

He woke up and realized that all his hats were taken by the monkeys on
the tree. He remembered his grandfather's words, started scratching
his head and the monkeys followed. He took down his hat and fanned
himself and again the monkeys followed. Now, very convinced of his
grandfather's idea, he threw his hat on the floor but to his surprise
the monkeys still held on to all the hats. Then one monkey climbed
down the tree, grabbed the hat on the floor, gave him a slap and
