The New 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, you'll 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 weekend's screwed, so you might as well mow the lawn."

Thanks Maria!

Not Bad......

A 2006 study by Texas A & M University found that the average American walks
about 900 miles per year..

Another study by the American Beer Institute found that Americans drink anaverage of 22 gallons of beer a year.

That means, on average, Americans get approximately 41 miles per gallon.Not bad!
