half head of lettuce
-
There was a boy who worked in the produce section of the market. One day, a man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, but only a half head. The boy said he would go ask his manager about the matter. The boy walked into the back room and said, “There is some jerk out there who wants to buy only a half a head of lettuce.” As he was finishing saying this he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, “And this gentleman wants to buy the other half.” The manager okayed the deal and the man went on his way. Later the manager called on the boy and said, “You almost got yourself in a lot of 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 around here. Where are you from son?” The boy replied, “Minnesota, sir.” “Oh really? Why did you leave Minnesota?” asked the manager. The boy replied, “They’re all just loose women and hockey players up there.” The manager was shocked and replied, “My wife is from Minnesota!!” The boy answered, “Really? What team did she play for?” I'll get my coat. :sigh:

I had to use that line in real life almost 40 years ago in real life, 1st year university at Waterloo University. I was in Co-Op Engineering, and we were in the Common Room discussing our job placements. One of the guys was excited about his job placement in Sudbury. I said "What are you so excited about? I've been there and all there are Hockey players and Hookers". Debbie was standing there and said, "I'm from Sudbury!!!!" With a straight face I delivered the line, and ran for my life. I'm told much beer was sprayed. It was a Leslie then.
