A man in Tesco's tries to buy half a cauliflower. The very
young produce assistant tells him that they sell only whole
cauliflowers. The man persists and asks to see the manager.
The boy says he'll ask his manager about it.

Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager,
'Some prat out there wants to buy half a cauliflower.'

As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man
standing right behind him, so he added, 'And this gentleman
has 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?'

' Liverpool , Sir,' the boy replied.

'Well, why did you leave Liverpool ?' the manager asked.

The boy said, 'Sir, there's nothing but whores and footballers up there.'

'Really?' said the manager. 'My wife is from Liverpool .'

'You're kidding?' replied the boy. 'Who'd she play for?'

That is the very definition of 'diplomacy'.
