Lines: 22 (get your line-eater fixed) A man gets a job at a general store, where his boss is training him to work the cash register and sales. He tells him "When a customer buys something, try to sell him a related item. Watch me." The next customer in the store asks for a box of grass seed. Just as he is about to leave, the boss says "Can I interest you in a lawnmower? Now that you will be growing grass, you'll need something to cut it." The man agrees, and buys a lawnmower. So the new employee says "I think I have the hang of it". The next customer comes in and asks for a box of Midol for his wife. Just as he is about to leave, the new employee says "Can I interest you in a lawnmower?" to which the customer asks "Why should I buy a lawnmower?" And the employee replies, "Well, your weekend is shot, you might as well cut the grass." frank at psu (roar, lions, roar) ..!psuvax!kucharic send all flames to /dev/null
