Lettuce, Whores and Hockey Players

You hockey fans will like this one.... 


A man in a Florida supermarket tried to buy half a head of lettuce.  The 
very young produce assistant told him that they sell only whole heads 
of lettuce. 

The man persisted and asked to see the manager.  The boy said he'd ask his 
manager about it. Walking into the back room, the boy said to his 
manager: 'Some asshole 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 added, 'And this gentleman has 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?'  Canada, sir,' the boy 
replied.  'Well, why did you leave Canada?'  the manager asked. 

 The boy said, 'Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey players up. there.'. 
Really?'  said the manager. 'My wife is from Canada

.'  No shit?' replied the boy. 'Who'd she play for?"
