A man walked into the produce section of a Florida supermarket and asked to buy a half head of lettuce. The produce boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man insisted that the boy ask his manager about the matter.

Walking into the back room, the boy said to the produce manager: "Some idiot wants to buy a half head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the customer standing right behind him, and he quickly added, "And this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half."

The produce manager approved the deal and the man went on his way.

And then the manager turned to the boy and said, "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?"

"Wisconsin, sir" the boy replied.

"Well, why'd you leave Wisconsin and come all the way to Florida?" the manager asked.

The boy answered, "Well sir, there's nothing up there but whores and football players!"

"Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Wisconsin."

"No kidding?" replied the boy. "What position did she play?"

Good 1!..and not far from the truth, I hear those requests in local supermarkets all the time during the snowbirds season.
