Quick Thinker
A man walked into the produce section of this 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
asshole wants to buy a half head of lettuce." As he finished his
sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, and he
quickly 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?"
"Philly, sir" the boy replied.
"Well, why did you leave Philly?" the manager asked.
The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing up there but whores and football
players!"
"Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Philly ."
"No shit?" replied the boy. "What position did she play?"
