The
Market Boy
There
was a boy who worked in the produce section of the market. One day, 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, 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 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." The manager
was shocked and replied "My wife is from
Minnesota!!"
The
boy answered, "Really! What team did she play for?"
