Clever lad
A stockboy worked in the produce section of a supermarket. A man came in asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him they only sold whole heads of lettuce. But the man was persistent, so the boy said he'd go ask his manager what to do.
The boy walked into the back room and said, "There's some jerk out there who wants to buy only half a head of lettuce." As he finished saying this, he turned around to find the customer standing right behind him. So he added, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half."
The manager agreed to sell the man half a head of lettuce. Later he said to the boy, "You almost got yourself in trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of it. You think on your feet and we like that here. Where are you from?"
"Minnesota, sir."
"Is that right? Well, why'd you leave Minnesota?" asked the manager.
""Oh, they're all just whores and hockey players up there," the boy replied.
"My wife is from St. Paul," said the manager.
"Really?" asked the boy. "What team did she play for?"
