A young man is working in a grocery store in New York. An older man
approaches him and asks where he can find half a head of lettuce. The
young man says they don't sell half a head only the whole head of lettuce.

The older man complains that it's ridiculous, he only needs half a head.
So the young man says he will talk to the manager and see what he can
do about it.

He walks to the back office and says to the manager that there is some
idiot up front who wants to buy half a head of lettuce, he then turns to
see the older man standing right behind him listening to his conversation.
He quickly tells the manager that this is a different guy who is kind enough
to buy the other half. The manager smiles and nods. He takes care of the
customer and then comes back to talk to the stock boy.

"Hey kid you were pretty quick back there, where are you from?"

"Oh I'm from Canada."

The manager looks puzzled "So why did you move down here?"

"Oh, Canada is only full of hockey players and prostitutes."

The manager gets a little upset with this and says,
"My wife is from Canada!"

Without missing a beat the kid says, "Oh really? What team does
she play for?"
