There is a story about a new
clerk in a
supermarket. A
customer asked him if she could buy half a
grapefruit. Not knowing what to do, he
excused himself to ask the
manager.
“Some
nut out there wants to buy half a grapefruit...” he began, and, suddenly
realizing that the customer had entered the office behind him, continued, “... and this lovely lady would like to buy the other half.”
The manager was
impressed with the way the clerk
amicably
resolved the problem and they later started
chatting. “Where are you from?” asked the store
manager.
“Lancaster, Pennsylvania,” replied the clerk, “home of ugly women and great
hockey teams.”
“Oh, my
WIFE is from Lancaster,”
challenged the manager.
Without
skipping a beat, the clerk asked, “What team was she on?”
