Half a Head of Lettuce

There was a boy who worked in the produce section of the market. One day, a man came in andasked 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, but 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 is 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 and said:

- you almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressedwith 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.

The manager was shocked and replied:

- My wife is from Minnesota!!

The boy answered:

- Really! What team did she play for?
