An older gentleman in a Safeway Store in Wyoming tried to buy half a head of
lettuce. The very young produce assistant told him that they sell only whole
heads of lettuce.
The man persisted and asked to see the manager. The teen said he’d ask his
manager about it.
Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager, “Some idiot wants
to buy half a head of lettuce.” As he finished his sentence, he turned to
find the man standing right behind him, so he quickly added, “And this
gentleman has 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. In Wyoming we like people who can
think on their feet. Where are you from originally, son?”
“Canada, sir,” the boy replied.
“Well, why did you leave Canada?” the manager asked.
The boy said, “Sir, to be happy living in Canada you have to either be an
ignorant fool or a hockey player.”
“Really?” said the manager. “Did you know my wife is from Canada?”
“No kidding?” replied the boy. “Who’d she play for?”
