Keep Your Head
頭腦要保持冷靜!
A young man was working in the produce section of a grocery store when a customer asked him for half a head of cabbage.
有一個年輕人在一家雜貨店的農產部門工作，一天一位顧客要向他買半顆包心菜。
"Sir, we don't sell half heads of anything. "
“先生，我們東西都沒有賣半顆的。”
"Well, I insist, I 0nly want half a head. "
“哎呀，我就買半顆，我只要半顆。”
"I'll ask the manager. "
“我要問問經理才行。”
The young man walked to the manager's office and, not realizing that the customer had followed him, said to the manager,
那名年輕人走到經理的辦公室，不知道那位顧客尾隨著他，他對經理說道：
"Sir, some asshole wants to buy just half a head of cabbage. "
“經理，有個渾蛋只要買半顆包心菜。”
Turning and noticing the customer, he quickly added,
他轉身發現那名顧客，立刻又補充說：
"And this gentleman wants the other half. "
“而這位先生要買另一半。”
Later, the manager took the young man aside and said,
稍后，經理把他拉到一旁說道：
"That was quick thinking, young fellow. We can use bright lads like you. If I hear of a higher position opening up, I'll keep you in mind. "
“年輕人，你反應真快。我們需要像你這么聰明的人，如果有較高的職位空缺，我會記得你的。”
Sure enough, a few weeks later the manager told the young man that an assistant manager's spot had become vacant in the company's store in Edmonton.
幾個星期之后，經理告訴那名年輕人在艾得蒙敦分店有個經理的職位空缺。
"Edmonton!" blurted out the young man. "Why, there's nothing in Edmonton but hookers and hockey, event hockey players，
“艾得蒙敦!”年輕人叫了出來，“那兒有的只是妓女和曲棍球選手而已。”
"Young man , my wife happens to come from Edmonton! "
“年輕人，我太太剛好來自艾得蒙敦!”
"No kidding, sir? what posltion does she play?"
“真的嗎?經理，那她是打哪一個位置呢?”
