A man walks into a grocery story and asks a clerk if he could by half a head of lettuce. "We don't do that here. You're going to have to buy a whole head of lettuce or go somewhere else," responds the clerk.
The man pleads, "Can't you please ask your manager if it's alright?"
The clerk gives up and says, "Fine, I'll ask my manager"
The clerk walks into his manager's office and tells the manager, "Some ******* only wants to buy half a head of lettuce." At this point the clerk realizes the man is standing behind him and without missing a beat finishes by saying, "and this gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other half." The manager approves the deal and the man goes on his way with half a head of lettuce.
Later the manager says 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?"
"Canada, sir," the boy replies.
"Well, why did you leave Canada?" the manager asks.
The boy says, "Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey players up there."
"Really?" says the manager. "My wife is from Canada."
"No ****?" replies the boy. "Who'd she play for?"
The man pleads, "Can't you please ask your manager if it's alright?"
