Sorry, posted this in a different forum hence re-posting it. Hope its well-liked.
In a shop a man asked for 1/2 kg of butter. The
Sales person, a young boy, said that only 1kg packs were available in the shop, but the man insisted on buying only 1/2 kg.
So the boy went inside to the manager's room and said "An idiot outside wants to buy only 1/2 kg 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 position 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?"
Moral of the story: Believe in your presence of mind and never
panic!!
