A young fella gets a job at a country store (the type that sells a little bit of everything) and starts out on his first day.
Soon a farmer comes in and asks for a bag of working dog dry food.
The young fella gets a bag, takes the cash, and says to the farmer, Have a Nice Day.
The store owner saw this,, and says to the young fella,,,,, I'll teach you something about retail. I'll serve the next customer, and you watch & learn.
Soon a new home owner comes in and says,, "Can I have a packet of lawn seed please ?"
The owner plonks a packet of seed on the counter and says,,,,,,,,,,,
Would you like some fertiliser ?
The customer thinks and says,,, "yeah, I probly will, thanks."
Then the owner swings into top gear sales mode and says,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Well,, if your planting a new lawn along with seed and fertiliser,,,,, you'll also need a roller, a hose, a sprinkler, and a lawnmower.
The customer says, "Why yes of course,,,,,, thanks."
So he pays for all the gear and off he goes.
Storeowner says to the young fella,,,, "See,,, I just turned a $2.00 packet of lawn seed into a several hundred dollars sale. Do you get the picture ?"
The young fella said YEP,,, I'll prove it.
Short time later a good looking sheila walks in and asks for a packet of tampons.
The young fella slapped a packet down on the counter and said,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Certainly Miss,,,,,,,,, but, would you like a lawn mower to go with them ?
The young lass says "Excuse me,,,,,, ???????"
The young fella replied,,, "Well,,,,, your weekend's f*ucked in a big way,,,, so you may as well be useful and mow the lawns.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
