Thinking Fast on your feet


One day, a man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent and told the boy to ask his manager about the matter.

Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager, "Some jerk out there wants to buy only half a head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half." The manager approved the deal and the man went on his way.

The manager later approached the boy and said "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?" "Minnesota, sir," the boy replied.
"Well, why did you leave Minnesota," the manager asked.
The boy replied, "Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey players up there." "Really!" said the manager. "My wife is from Minnesota!" The boy replied, "No kidding? What team did she play for?"
