Closing Down!

As a non native speaker I had to google ‘bew job’ which appeared quite a challenge until I realised that the b is next to the n on the keyboard. :person_facepalming:

This particular letter change is actually not the first time on the internet and at least the search was worthwhile because it made me find this enjoyable joke :partying_face: :

Bew Job

A young guy from North Dakota moves to Florida and goes to a big “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 vacuum salesman back in North Dakota.”

Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he’d give him a shot, so he 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 to the sales floor. “How many customers bought something from you today?”
The kid frowns and looks at the floor and mutters, “One”.
The boss says “Just one?!!? Our sales people average sales to 20 to 30 customers a day. That will have to change, and soon, if you’d like to continue your employment here. We have very strict standards for our sales force here in Florida. One sale a day might have been acceptable in North Dakota, but you’re not on the farm anymore, son.”

The kid took his beating, but continued to look at his shoes, so the boss felt kinda bad for chewing him out on his first day. He asked (semi-sarcastically), “So, how much was your one sale for?”
The kid looks up at his boss and says “$101,237.65″.

The boss, astonished, says $101,237.65?!? What the heck did you sell?”
The kid says, “Well, first, I sold him some new fish hooks. Then I sold him a new fishing rod to go with his new hooks. 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 Expedition.”

The boss said “A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a TRUCK!?”

The kid 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.’

if you love us, stay .

:frowning:

its been great travelling with you through the light.

Nice djozz. :laughing:

Only used you once but great service, genuine guy.
Thanks

Good luck

Thanks Jos, I needed a good chuckle and that was the best I’ve read in a while. A few days ago it could have won you something.

Bought stuff from you a few times over the past year or two. Always perfect. Thank you :+1:

All the best :beer:

Hey man, just saw you closed. I haven’t been actively buying recently due to life, but that saddens me greatly. A Candy-coated Convoy was on my wishlist. Good luck with life!

I’m still around and can do builds, I just don’t sell parts or have the website anymore due to time restrictions in my new job.

It took up too much time going to the post office everyday with parts orders!

If you want a candy coated light just let me know, it just might take a bit longer than usual

That’s good to know. I hope the new job is going well :slight_smile:

May I suggest that you adjust your BLF signature, though? The 3Tronics website link is broken (as expected), so might as well be removed.

Forgot about that

Done.
