Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager, "Some
asshole wants to buy half a watermelon." 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 said to the boy, "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?"
"Texas, sir," the boy replied.
"Well, why did you leave Texas?" the manager asked.
The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but whores and football players
down
there."
"Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Texas."
"No shit?" replied the boy. "Who'd she play for?"
