The Salesman and His Manager...

A realty salesman had just closed his first deal, only to discover that the piece of land he had sold was completely under water. "That customer is going to come back here pretty mad," he said to his manager. "Should I give him his money back?" "Money back?" roared the manager... "What kind of salesman are you? Get out there and sell him a houseboat!"
