A young guy from Newfoundland moves to British Columbia 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 Newfoundland.
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 salespeople 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 Vancouver. One sale a day might have been acceptable in Newfoundland, 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.'"

Fair point well made

Stickers arrived today. Thanks  Andy. They look great (on the sideboard, too wet for the boat). Geoff.☺️

Sean Connery walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, and then casually looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"
"No," he replies, "Q has just given me this state-of-the-art watch. I was just testing it."
The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"
Bond explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically."
The lady says, "What's it telling you now?"
"Well, it says you're not wearing any panties."
The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken because I'm wearing panties!"
Bond smirks, taps his watch and says, "Bloody thing's an hour fast."
Legend. RIP

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH  Its hideous , can you do a lesson on how to get it down?

Hi MD, welcome aboard. I seem to remember you and your boat project from WSF. Much nicer over here. Geoff.☺️

This is our drop bear hunting dog, used to camouflage in wilderness areas after fires for hunting drop bears. She's also deadly at chewing zips of anything I own if I leave her at home!!!

Superglue might - just might work, Springers will never stay put for long enough for any PU adhesive to stick. Geoff.

Welcome aboard. The lads that built the moulds for my "Fenline" are from Morecambe bay Dinghy Angling club - do you know any of them? Geoff.
Hi Steve - should this be moved to tune of the day. Mary Hopkins I think "Those were the the days my friend". Geoff.

And my name is Geoff, but Joyce is watching tv and wants the lights off. Geoff.☺️

Joyce wants the lights off an you're kicking about on here???

Some form of internet-based TV is probably your best option then. Either that or a really long aerial!

I have a marshall stack, backline and pa

🤣🤣 Quite right too, although I am fond of a bit of Dolly P every now and again 🤭.

Got offered sex today, with a 21yr old lady. In exchange, I was supposed to advertise some kind of bathroom cleaner on twitter I declined cause I've high moral standards & strong willpower. Just as strong as Ajax, the super strong bathroom cleaner. Now available scented with lemon.

Got a few more jobs done on the boat today. I had to replace the bolts on one of the rollers on the bow roller as the previous owner had been using two undersized bolts that didn't engage with the thread in the roller and were too long, so they bent. How they managed to stay in place I will never know.
Correct new bolts going in with a smear of thread lock to stop them unwinding with the roller action.


Also sorted out the port wiper which wasn't pantographing (if that's even a word) properly. It was operating like a regular car wiper instead of keeping the blade vertical throughout the sweep of the arm. Turned out it was a seized pivot joint and a loose nut on the end of the spigot. A healthy dose of lube and a tweak with a spanner and it now works as it should.


I spent an hour tidying up the wiring under the helm and putting the cable runs into braided cable wrap. I also installed two more rod holders on the splash well top. Needn't have bothered though as I doubt we'll be fishing any time soon now 🤣

Finally, I indulged my inner fanboy and stuck a Lowrance vinyl on the inside of the wheelhouse door. #mustgetoutmore

At the end of the day we need to stay safe. 
 
id rather miss a cod season and have a safe family 🙂 
I may not say that come Feb when they meet Emma and demand babies or something 🤣🤣😬 That’s been the one benefit of lockdown, I’ve escaped the introductions to my side of the family 🤣🤣

I’ve found some girl surfers to be quite tasty.... so I don’t blame the shark for wanting a nibble 🤔🙄

I knew it! You're a dog-fisher too! 🤣

New toy.....

That sounds like Brucie is really back. Geoff.☺️
