Indian Marwari Woman

A keen immigrant Indian marwari lad applied for a salesman's job at      
  London's premier downtown Department store.                              
                                                                           
  In fact, it was the biggest store in the world - you could get  anything 
  there.                                                                   
  The boss asked him,                                                      
  "Have you ever been a salesman before?"                                  
  "Yes sir, I was a salesman in Rajasthan in India", replied  the lad.     
  The boss liked the cut of him and said,                                  
  "You can start tomorrow and  I'll come and see you."                     
  The day was long and arduous for the young man, but he got through it.   
  And finally 6:00 PM came around. The boss duly fronted up and asked,     
  "How many sales did you make today?"                                     
  "Sir, Just ONE sale." said the young salesman. "Only one sale?" blurted  
  the boss.                                                                
  "No! No! You see here, most of my staff make 20 or  30 sales a day.      
  "If you want to keep this job, you'd better be doing better than just    
  one sale.                                                                
  By the way "How much was the sale worth?"                                
  "Three hundred thousand, three hundred and thirty four pounds" said  the 
  young marwari.                                                           
  "What"," How did you manage that?" asked the flabbergasted boss.         
  "Well", said the salesman, "This man came in and I sold him a small fish 
  hook,                                                                    
  then a medium hook and finally a really large hook.                      
  Then I sell him new fishing rod and some fishing gear.                   
  Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast.  
  So I told him he'd be needing a boat, so I took him down to the boat     
  department                                                               
  and sold him that twenty-foot schooner with the                          
  twin engines.                                                            
  Then he said his Volkswagen probably wouldn't be able to pull it, so I   
  took him to                                                              
  our automotive department and sold him that new Deluxe 4X4 Blazer.       
  I then asked him where he'll be staying, and since he had no             
  accommodation,                                                           
  I took him to camping department and sold him one of those new igloo     
  6 sleeper camper tents. Then the guy said, while                         
  we're at it, I should throw in about $100 worth of groceries and two     
  cases of beer.                                                           
  The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment,                  
  "You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook!!"               
  "No" answered the salesman, "he came in to buy a box of Sanitary         
  napkins for his wife and I said to him,                                  
  "Your weekends screwed anyway, you might as well go fishing."
