The New Young Salesman A manager at a General Store is teaching a young, newly hired boy how to sell people more than they really want. Suddenly, a man walks in asking for a bag of lawn seed. The manager walks up to him and says, ""Of course. But you will be wanting a lawn mower, too, right?"" The man asks, ""Why would I be?"" The manager replies, ""Because when the lawn seed grows, youll need something to cut the grass with."" Surprisingly, the man buys a lawn mower. Then another man walks in and asks for a box of Tampax. The manager nudges the newly hired boy. The boy walks up to the man and says, ""Right away, Sir. But, of course, you will be wanting a lawn mower with that, right?"" The shocked man asks, ""Why?!"" The young man then replies, ""Well, your weekends screwed, so you might as well mow the lawn.""
