A man walked into the grocery section of his local supermarket and asked to buy half a cabbage.
The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole cabbages.
The man was insistent that the boy ask his manager about the matter.
Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager: "Some t**ser wants to buy a half a cabbage."
As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added: "…And this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half."
The manager approved the deal and the man went away happy.
Later the manager found the boy and said: "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?"
"Essex, sir," the boy replied.
"Well, why did you leave Essex?" the manager asked.
The boy said: "Sir, there's nothing but *****s and football players there."
"Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Essex."
The boy came back instantly: "What a co-incidence - who does she play for?"
