Pennsylvania

There is a story about a new

clerk in a supermarket. A

customer asked him if she

could buy half a grapefruit.

Not knowing what to do, he

excused himself to ask the

manager.



"Some nut out there wants 

to buy half a grapefruit..." 

he began, and, suddenly 

realizing that the customer 

had entered the office 

behind him, continued, "... 

and this lovely lady would 

like to buy the other half."



The manager was impressed 

with the way the clerk amicably 

resolved the problem and they 

later started chatting. "Where 

are you from?" asked the store 

manager. 



"Lancaster, Pennsylvania," 

replied the clerk, "home of 

ugly women and great hockey 

teams." 



"Oh, my WIFE is from Lancaster," 

challenged the manager. 



Without skipping a beat, the

clerk asked, "What team

was she on?"
