Quick thinking..

A boy is serving in the produce section of a market when a man asks
for half a head of lettuce.
The boy says they sell only whole ones but will confirm with his manager.
"There's a jerk out there who wants half a head of lettuce," he says.
As he says it he turns to find the man standing right behind him so he
quickly adds: "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half."
The manager later says to the boy: "You almost got yourself into a lot
of trouble but I'm impressed with the way you got out of it. You think on
your feet and we like that around here.
"Where are you from?"
"Durban, sir."
"Why did you leave?"
"They're all just hookers and rugby players."
"My wife is from Durban."
"Oh really? What team did she play for?"
