Think out of the box

Think out of the box if you have foot-in-the-mouth disease :)

John works in a supermarket. A man came in and asked John for half akilogram of butter. The boy told him they only sold 1 kg packets ofbutter, but the man was persistent. The boy said he'd go ask hismanager what to do.

John walked into the back room and said, "There's a bloody fellow out there who wants to buy only half a kilo of butter."

As he finished saying this he turned around to find the man standingright behind him,

So he added, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half."

The manager finished the deal and later said to John, "You almost gotyourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressedwith the way you got yourself out of it. You think on your feet, and Ilike it a lot.

Which place are you from?"

John replied, "I'm from Mexico, sir."

"Oh really? Why did you leave Mexico?" asked the manager.

John replied, "They're all just prostitutes and soccer players up there."

"My wife is from Mexico," the manager said.

John replied, "Which team did she play for?"
