A wife asks her husband, a computer programmer, “Would you please go to the store for me and buy a carton of milk? And if they have eggs, get six.”
A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, “Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?” He replied, “They had eggs.”
