Fast Thinking
A man walked into a Florida supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce.
The young produce assistant told him they sell only whole heads of lettuce.
The man persisted, and asked to speak to the manager.
The boy said he'd go back to the storeroom area and ask his manager about it.

Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager, “Some stupid asshole out there wants to buy half a head of lettuce.” As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man had followed him into the back room, and was standing right behind him, so he quickly added, “And this fine gentleman behind me has kindly offered to buy the other half.”

The manager approved the deal, and the man paid for the lettuce and went on his way.

The manager said to the boy, 'I was impressed with the quick way you got yourself out of that situation. We like people working here who think on their feet. Where are you from, son?'

“I’m from Canada, sir,“ the boy replied.

“Well, why did you leave Canada ?” the manager asked.

The boy laughs, “Sir, there ain’t nothing up in Canada but whores and hockey players.”

“Is that so?“' said the manager. “I’ll have you know, my wife is from Canada!”

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