Subject: Fw: From Essex

A man walked into the produce section of his local Tesco
supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that
department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. 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 tosser wants to buy a half a head of lettuce."
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 on his way.
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 whores and football players there."
"Really?" said the manager, "My wife's from Essex ."
The boy replied, "Really? . . . . . . Who does she play for?"
