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 that the boy ask his manager  about the matter.                      

Walking  into the back room, the boy said to the manager, Some old  b*stard wants to buy half a head of lettuce."  As he  finished his  sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he quickly added, "and this gentleman kindly offered to buy  the other half."      

The  manager approved the deal, and the man went on his way. Later  the manager said 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?"

"New  Zealand ,  sir," the boy replied.

"Well, why did you leave New  Zealand ?"  the manager asked.

The  boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but whores and rugby players there."

"Really,"  replied the manager? "My wife is from New  Zealand !"

"Oh??"  replied the boy. "Who'd she play for?"
