An old man from Alabama moved to New York and decided to look for work.
He walked into a massive department store and asked for a job.
The manager, intrigued, asked, “Do you have any sales experience?”
The man nodded confidently, “Yes, sir. I was a salesman back home in Alabama.”
The manager liked his enthusiasm and hired him. “You start tomorrow. I’ll check in after we close to see how you did.”
The first day was tough, but the old man persevered.
At the end of the day, the manager came to check on him. “So, how many customers did you sell to?”
The man smiled and said, “Just one.”
The manager was furious. “One?! Our salespeople average 20 to 30 customers a day! How much was the sale for?”
The old man replied, “$121,237.65.”
The manager’s jaw dropped. “What on earth did you sell?!”
The old man explained, “Well, first, I sold him a small fishhook. Then a medium fishhook.
Then a larger one. After that, I sold him a fishing rod. He mentioned going fishing on the coast, so I took him to the boat section, and he bought a twin-engine Boston Whaler.
Then he realized his Honda Civic couldn’t tow it, so I sold him a truck.”
The manager, still in shock, asked, “A man came in for a fishhook, and you sold him a boat and a truck?!”
The old man grinned. “No, sir. He actually came in to buy t.a.m.p.o.n.s for his wife. I just said, ‘Your weekend’s shot—you might as well go fishing.’”
The next day, the old man got a promotion.
LOL!!
An Old Man Wants A Job.
An old man wants a job, but the foreman won’t hire him until he passes a little maths test.
“Here is your first question.” The foreman says.
“Without using numbers, represent the number nine?”
“Without numbers?”
The old man says. “That’s easy.”
And he proceeds to draw three trees.
“What is this?” asks the boss.
“You don’t have a brain? Tree plus tree plus tree makes nine.” Says the old man.
“Fair enough.” Says the boss.
“Here is your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99?”
The man stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree, and hands it back.
The boss scratches his head and says.
“How on earth do you get that to represent 99?”
“Each of the trees is dirty now. So it’s a dirty tree plus a dirty tree plus a dirty tree. It’s 99.”
“Okay, last question. Again, the same rules, but represent the number 100?”
The old man stares into space again; Then he picks up the picture, makes a little mark at the base of each tree, and hands it back.
The boss looks at the picture of the man.
“You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred?”
The old man leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and whispers.
“A little dog came along and pooped by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, plus dirty tree and a turd, plus dirty tree and a turd, which makes 100.”
LOL!!!
Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!
