Lateral thinking

[Chris Wilson]

A man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket in London, and asked for 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 the manager, "Some old bastard wants to buy half a head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he quickly 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?"

 

"Ireland, sir," the boy replied.

 

"Well, why did you leave Ireland?" the manager asked.

 

The boy said, "Sir, there are nothing but whores and rugby players there."

 

"Really," replied the manager? "My wife is from Ireland!"

 

"Really??" replied the boy. "Who did she play for?

Sad news about Larry

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went unnoticed last week.

 

Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Kokey", died peacefully at age 93.

 

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.

They put his left leg in, and then the trouble started
