HUMOR
A wife asks her programmer husband to go to the store.
She asks him, “Can you go down to the grocery store and get a gallon of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6.”
Later he returns home and she looks at his purchases and says, “Why in the world did you buy 6 gallons of milk?”
He responded, “They had eggs.”
