Lettuce and Minnestoa

There was a boy who worked in the produce section of a super 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, only half. The boy explained that he would have to ask the manager and so
he 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 finished saying this, he turned
around to find the man standing right behind him, so he quickly added, “And this
gentleman wants to buy the other half.” The manager okayed the request and the
man went on his way. Later on the manager said to the boy, “You almost got
yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the
way you got 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?” inquired the manager. The boy replied, “They’re all
just whores and hockey players up there.” “My wife is from Minnesota”, exclaimed
the manager. The boy instantly replied, “Really! What team did she play for?”
