The Wise young Scot.
Yes there are a few.
|
A man went into a Birmingham
supermarket and tried to buy half a cauliflower. The young greens produce
assistant told him that they sold only whole cauliflowers.
The man persisted, and asked to
see the manager, and the boy went to find him. Walking into the stock
room, the boy said to his manager, "Some idiot out there wants to buy
half a cauliflower."
As he finished his sentence, he
turned to find the customer standing right behind him, so he added, "And
this gentleman has 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 embarrassing situation earlier.
We like people here who think on
their feet. Where are you from, son?"
"Edinburgh, sir," the
boy replied.
"Why did you leave Edinburgh
?" the manager asked.
The boy said, "Sir, there's
nothing there but prostitutes and rugby players."
"Really?" said the
manager. "My wife is from Edinburgh."
"You're kidding?" replied the boy. "What position did she play?" |
