A man in a Florida supermarket tried to buy half a head of lettuce.
The very young produce assistant told him that they sell only whole
heads of lettuce.

The man persisted and asked to see the manager. The boy said he'd ask
his manager about it. Walking into the back room, the boy said to his
manager, 'Some idiot 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 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 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 hoookers and hockey players up there.'
'Really?' said the manager. 'My wife is from Canada .'

'Really?' replied the boy. 'What team did she play for?
