Half a Head of Lettuce...

[reelapeelin]

A man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket and asked to buy
a half head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they
only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent that the boy ask his
manager about the matter.

Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager, "Some @$$-hole wants to
buy a half head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the
man standing right behind him, so he added, "And this gentleman 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?"

" Texas , sir." the boy replied.

"Well, why did you leave Texas ?" the manager asked.

The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but prostitutes and football players there.

"Really?" said the manager "My wife is from Texas .."

"Get outta here!" the boy said. "Who'd she play for?"...
