Eggs

[marval]

A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, if they have eggs, get 6."

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.

The wife asks him, "Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"

He replied, "They had eggs."

I like that

This is one of those classic cases where a bit of proper punctuation would have helped the husband to understand that she wanted!!

What's funny about that? The guy was following instructions...

Reminds me of the true story of the computer programmer whose wife asked him if he'd like to go shopping with her, to which he always answered "No"

After some time, it got her down, and she told him that his refusal to help with the shopping was annoying her.

He replied " You asked if I'd like to go shopping, and I wouldn't like it. If you ask will I go shopping, of course I will"

Reminds me of people who say "I'd like to ask you a question..." - well, why don't you?
