SALESMANSHIP
There was a boy who worked in the produce section of the
market. 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 shop assisant said he would go ask his manager about
the matter.
He said to his manager, "There's some asshole 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 whores and hockey players
up there."
"Really?," replied the manager, "My wife is from Minnesota!!"
The boy replied, "No kidding! What team did she play for?"
