Salesman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Manager says: 'Do you have any sales experience?'
The Indian says: 'Sir, I was a salesman back home in India.'
Well, the boss liked the Indian chappie 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.
'How many sales did you make today?'
Indian boy says: 'Sir, Just ONE sale.'
The boss says: 'Just one? No! No! No! You see here our sales people
average 20 or 30 sales a day.' If you want to keep this job, you'd
better be doing better  than just one sale. By the way, how much was
the sale for?'
Indian boy says: ' $101 237. 64'
Boss says: '$101 237. 64? What the hell did you sell?'
Indian boy says: 'Sir, First I sell him small
fishhook.
Then I sell him medium fishhook.
Then I sell him large fishhook.
Then I sold him new fishing rod and some fishing gear.
Then I ask him where he's going fishing and he said
down on the coast, so I told him he'll be needing a
boat, so we went down to the boating department and I
sell him twin engine Chris Craft.
Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would
pull it, so I took him down to our automotive
department and sell him that 4X4 Blazer.
I then ask him where he'll be staying, and since he
had no accommodation, I took him to camping department
and sell him one of those new igloo 6 sleeper camper
tents.
Then the guy said, while we're at it, I should throw
in about $100 worth of groceries and two cases of
beer.
The boss said: 'You're not serious? A guy came in here
to buy a fishhook and you sold him a boat, a 4X4 truck
and a tent?'
Indian boy says: 'No Sirji, actually he came in to buy
Sanitary napkins for his wife, and I said: Well, since u have nothing
to do for another 4-5 days,  fishing is
the best way to relax your mind and pass time.'

Mother

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment.

She cooked for students & teachers to support the family. There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me.

I was so embarrassed.
 
How could she do this to me?

I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.

The next day at school one of my classmates said, 'EEEE, your mom only has one eye!'

I wanted to bury myself.
I also wanted my mom to just disappear.
I confronted her that day and said, ' If you're only goanna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?'

My mom did not respond...
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because
I was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.

I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.

So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.

Then, I got married.
I bought a house of my own.
I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts, then one day; my mother came to visit me.

She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren.

When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.

I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house and scare my children!'  GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!' 

 
And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,' and she disappeared out of sight.

One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.

So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.

After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.

My neighbors said that she died.
I did not shed a single tear.
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

 
' My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and 
scared your children.  I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.  But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.
 I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were
 growing up.

 You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and
 lost your eye.
 As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you
 having to grow up with one eye.
 So I gave you mine.
 I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my 
 place, with that eye.

 With all my love to you,
 Your mother.

 Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day will be their last, or your own.

Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings peace.
