                  IJMC - More in the Two-For-One Series

One of the IJMC's new submitters seems to enjoy sending two jokes in 
every message. More power to the rest of you, I'm too lazy to seperate 
them into two seperate posts...it just means you've got to remember to 
pass to the end for the second joke if you get tired of the first 
one...it's a long one but I liked it...although, I'd love to see if any 
of these "Chinese Definitions" translate into anything intelligible. 
Anyone care to try?                                               -dave

************************************


A keen country lad applied for a salesman's job at a city 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, I was a salesman in the country," said the lad.  

The boss liked the cut of him and said, "You can start tomorrow and I'll
come and see you when we close up." 

The day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5 o'clock came
around. The boss duly fronted up and asked, "How many sales did you make
today?" 

"One," said the young salesman. 

"Only one," blurted the boss.  "Most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day.
How much was the sale worth?" 

"Three hundred thousand dollars," said the young man. 

"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 sold him
a small fishing line, a medium one and a huge big one.  I asked him where
he was going fishing and he said down the coast. I said he would probably
need 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 the car department
and sold him the new Deluxe Cruiser." 

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 Tampons for his
wife and I said to him, 'Your weekend's shot, you may as well go
fishing.'"
