A old man in Melbourne walked into the fruit and vegetable section of his local
supermarket and asked to buy half a head of cabbage.
The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole
heads of cabbage.
The man was insistent that the boy ask the manager about the matter.
Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager,
"Some old bastard outside wants to buy half a head of cabbage."
As he finished his sentence, he turned around to find that the man had
followed and was standing right behind him,
so the boy quickly added, "and this gentleman 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 can think on their feet here, where are
you from son?"
"New Zealand, sir," the boy
replied.
"Why did you leave New Zealand ?" the manager asked.
The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but prostitutes and rugby players
there."
"Is that right?" replied the manager,
"My wife is from New Zealand!"
"Really?" replied the boy, "Who did
she play for?"
