There

was a boy

who worked in the produce section of the market. A man came in and

asked to buy

half a head of lettuce. The boy told him that they only sold whole

heads of

lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head,

only a half

head. The boy said he would go ask his manager about the matter.

The boy walked

into the back room and said, "There's some asshole out there who

wants to

buy only a half a head of lettuce." As he was finishing saying

this he

turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he

added, "and

this gentleman wants to buy the other half."





The manager okayed the deal and the man went on his way.  Later

the manager

called on the boy in and said,  "You almost got yourself in a lot

of

trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you

got yourself

out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here.

Where are you

from son?" 

The

boy replied,

"Minnesota, Sir."

"Oh

really?

Why did you leave Minnesota?" asked the manager.





The boy replied, "They're all just whores and hockey players up

there."





"Really," replied the manager, "My wife is from Minnesota!!"





The boy replied, "No kidding! What team did she play for?"
