O'
Canada!
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 kidding? Who did she play for?"
