A young guy goes into one of those “everything under one roof” stores looking for a job.

The manager asks “Do you have any sales experience?”

The kid says “Sure, I was a salesman back home in Texas.”

 The boss likes him and gives him the job.

“Start tomorrow. I’ll come down after we close and see how you did.”

 The first day was rough, but he got through it. When the store was locked up, the boss came down to see how he did. 

“How many sales did you make today?”

Kid immediately replies “One.”

Boss says “Just one? Our salespeople average 20-30 per day. How much was the sale for?”

Kid says “$101,237.64”

 Boss is amazed.

What? $101,237.64? What the hell did you sell?

Kid says “First I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium, and then a large fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was gonna 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 Automotive and sold him that 4x4 Blazer.

Still amazed, the boss says “A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a truck?”

Kid says “No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said 'Well, your weekend’s shot, you might as well go fishing.'"

No it's not.

For a minute there I thought this was one of Miss C's AI generated 2020 headlines.

Awesome Time Suck there Miss C.

One does not simply "caulk the wagon and float it."

Interesting. I actually went to Google before I read the article. Once I did, I had to post the results. Draw your own conclusions I guess. Based on Merriam-Webster's take, it's not really that bad a phrase:

How Come People Say 'How Come'?

Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small. Tl;dr: Karma

Poor dad. Guess he never saw Terminator 2. Or dare I say Terminator Dark Fate (for John and all that).

I have a generic name for all of them: Dead Santas. Which is what they look like when they're not inflated and splayed out over the ground.

Of course you can smell ants, have you not seen Them!
