The Australian Approach

Jimbuna · 01-27-09, 04:26 PM

A young Aussie lad moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a job.
The manager asked 'Do you have any sales experience?'

The young man answered 'Yeah, I was a salesman back home in
Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.'
The manager liked the Aussie so he gave him the job.
His first day on the job was challenging and busy, but he got through it.

After the store was locked up, the manager came down and asked, 'OK, so howmany sales did you make today?'

The Aussie said 'One!'

The manager groaned and continued, 'Just one? Our sales people average 20or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?'

' 124,237.64'

The manager choked and exclaimed 124,237.64 POUNDS!!

What the hell did you sell him?'

Well, first I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook, and thenI 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 would need a boat, so we went down to the boat departmentand I sold him that twin-engine Power Cat.

Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took himdown to car sales and I sold him the 4 x 4 Suzuki'.

The manager, incredulous, said 'You mean to tell me....a guy came in hereto buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a 4x4?'

'No no no......he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his lady and I said.........

'Well, since your weekend's ********d, you might as well go fishing.'

Why thank you mate....allow me to reciprocate.

I do recall the occasional conversations we had and I especially remember your charming wife.

I remember my last thought (immediately after you left the Meet early) "Damn, I meant to invite him to join the crew"....all sorted now though

Just for you :p

A man from Texas buys a round of drinks for everyone in the bar as he announces his wife has just produced "A typical Texas baby boy weighing twenty pounds."

Congratulations shower all around, and many exclamations of 'wow!' are heard.

Two weeks later he returns to the bar. The bartender says, 'Say, you're the father of the typical Texas baby that weighed twenty pounds at birth, aren't you? How much does the baby weigh now?'

The proud father answers, 'fifteen pounds.'

The bartender is puzzled. 'Why? What happened? He already weighed twenty pounds at birth.'

The Texas father takes a slow sip from his beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans over to the bartender and proudly announces, 'Had him circumcised!'
