A man in a Florida supermarket tries to buy a half a head of lettuce. The young produce assistant tells him that they only sell whole heads. The man persists and asks to see the manager. The boy says he'll ask his manager about it. Walking into the back room the boy says to the manager, "Some asshole wants to buy a half a head of lettuce".....As he finishes his sentence, he turns to find the man standing right behind him, so he adds "......and THIS gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other half." The manager approved the deal, and the man went on his way.
Later the manager said to the boy, "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who can think on their feet. Where are you from son?"...."Canada, Sir," replied the boy. "Well why did you leave Canada?" the manager asked. "Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey players up there," said the boy. "Really?" said the manager, "My wife is from Canada."
"No shit!" said the boy. "Who'd she play for?"
