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's some jerk 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

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

got yourself out of it. You think on your feet and we like that
around here. Where are you from son?" The boy replied, "Canada sir."
"Oh really? Why did you leave Canada?" asked the manager. The boy
replied, "They're all just whores and hockey players up there."

"Really," replied the manager, "My wife is from Canada!!" The boy
replied, "No kidding! What team did she play for?
