A man walked into the fruit and veg 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 the manager about the matter.
Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager, "Some old b**tard wants to buy a half a head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned around to find that the man was 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, we like people who can think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?"
"New Zealand, sir," the boy replied.
"Why did you leave New Zealand?" the manager asked.
"Sir, there's nothing there but prostitutes and rugby players."
"Is that right?" replied the manager. "My wife is from New Zealand."
"Really, sir?" replied the boy, "Who'd she play for?
