Saskatchewan Salesman
A young farm boy from Saskatchewan moved to Vancouver Island
and went to a huge everything under one roof department store looking for a job.
The Manager says, Do you have any sales experience?
The kid says , Yeah. I was a salesman back in Saskatchewan .
Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job.
‘You start tomorrow. I’ll come down after we close and see how you did.’
His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down.
‘How many customers bought something from you today?’
The kid says ‘one’.
The boss says, ‘Just one? Our salespeople average 20 to 30 customers a day.
How much was the sale for?’
The kid says, ‘$101,237.65.
The boss says, ‘$101,237.65! What the heck did you sell?’
The kid says, ‘First, I sold him a small fishhook.
Then I sold him a medium fishhook.
Then I sold him a larger fishhook.
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 going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft.
Then he said he didn’t think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4×4 Ford Expedition.
The boss said, ‘You mean to tell me that a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?’
The Saskatchewan farm boy said, ‘No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife and I said,
Dude, your weekend’s shot — you should go fishing!

Halfwit Saskatchewan Farmer
A man owned a small farm in Delisle. The Canadian Internal Revenue determined he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent an investigator out to interview him.
I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them!”, demanded the investigator.
“Well,” replied the farmer, “there’s my farm hand who’s been with me for three years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board.
“The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per week plus free room and board.”
“Then there’s the halfwit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 a week. He pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.”
“That’s the guy I want to talk to …the halfwit!” said the agent..
“That would be me,” replied the farmer.
