lettuce
A man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket and asked to
buy half a head of lettuce.
The young man working in that department told him they only sold whole heads
of lettuce.
The man was insistent that the young man ask his manager about the matter.
Walking into the back room, the young man said to his manager, "Some jerk
wants to buy half a head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he
turned
to find the man standing right behind him, so he quickly added, "And this
gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half." The manager approved the
deal and the man went on his way. Later, the manager found his employee and
said, "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation
earlier. We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from,
son?" "Canada, sir," the young man replied. "Well, why did you leave
Canada?" the manager asked. "Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey
players up there," said the young man.
"Really!" said the manager. "My wife is from Canada."
"No kidding??? Who'd she play for?" the young man quickly replied.
