A man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket and asked
to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told
him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent
that the boy ask his manager about the matter.
Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager, "Some asshole
wants to buy a half a head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he
turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he 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 the boy 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 boy replied.
"Well, why did you leave Canada?" the manager asked. The boy said,
"Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey players up there."
"Really!" said the manager. "My wife is from Canada!"
The boy replied, "No shit??? Who'd she play for?"
