From Our Pastor
A man working in the produce department was asked by a lady if she could buy a half a head of lettuce. He replied, “Half a head? Are you serious? God grows these in whole heads and that’s how we sell them.” The lady persisted, “Do you mean that after all these years of shopping here, you won’t sell me half a head of lettuce?” He said, “I’ll ask the manager.” The young man marched to the front of the store. He told the manager, “Some crazy lady wants to know if she can buy a half a head of lettuce.”
Then he realized that the lady had followed him, and was standing right behind him. He said, “And this nice lady was wondering if she could buy the other half!”
