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 the manager, "Some
asshole 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 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 said to the boy, "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?"
"Texas, sir," the boy replied.
"Well, why did you leave Texas?" the manager asked.
The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but whores and football players
down there."
"Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Texas."
No shit???" replied the boy. "Who'd she play for?"
