John works in a supermarket. A man came in and asked John for half a
kilogram of butter. John told him they only sold 1 kg packets of butter,
but the man was persistent. John said he'd go ask his manager 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 standing right 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 got
yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with
the way you got yourself out of it. You think on your feet, and I like it a
lot. Which place are you from?"

John replied, "I'm from Brazil, Sir."

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

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

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

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