Quick Thinking

Little Johnny worked in the produce section of a super market. One day a man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. Little Johnny told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, only half. Little Johnny explained that he would have to ask the manager.
He walked into the back room and said, "There is some jerk out there who wants to buy only a half a head of lettuce." As he finished saying this, he turned around to find the man standing right behind him so he quickly added, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half."
The manager approved the request and the man went on his way. Later on the manager said to Little Johnny, "You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from, son?"
Little Johnny replied, "Minnesota, sir."
"Oh, really? Why did you leave Minnesota?" inquired the manager.
Little Johnny replied, "There are only whores and hockey players up there."
"My wife is from Minnesota!!", exclaimed the manager.
Little Johnny instantly replied, "Really! What team did she play for?"
