Quick Thinking

In a shop a man asked for 1/2 pound of butter.

The salesperson, a young boy, said that only 1 pound packages were available in the shop, but the man insisted on buying only 1/2 pound.

So the boy went inside to the manager’s room and said “An idiot outside wants to buy only 1/2 pound of butter”.

To his surprise, the customer was standing behind him. So the boy added immediately, “And this gentleman wants to buy the other half!!!!!!”.

After the customer left, the manager said “You have saved your job by being clever enough at the right time. Where do you come from?”.

To this the boy said, “I come from Mexico. The place consists of only prostitutes and football players!!!!!”.

The manager replied coldly, “My wife is also from Mexico”.

To this the boy asked excitedly, “Oh yeah? Which team does she play for?”
