Whores and hockey players
A man in a Safeway Store tries to buy half a
head of lettuce. A young produce assistant
tells him that they sell only whole heads of lettuce.
The man persists and asks to see the manager.
The boy says he'll ask his manager about it. Walking into
the back room, the boy says to his manager,
'Some asshole wants to buy half a head of lettuce.'
As he finishes his sentence, he turns to find the
man standing right behind him so he adds, 'And this
gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other half.'
The manager approves the deal, and the man goes on his way.
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 shit?' replies the boy. 'Who'd she play for?'
