Salesman of the year

Just a story.... 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!!'

Mat Yie, keje memang sentiasa ada, just how low you willing to accept je :P. Nak compare ngan sana, memang susah lah, hang kene pi belah western lagi rather than coming back to eastern.
