A programmer goes shopping

[Jeltz]

A computer programmer's wife says to him

"Go to the shop and get a loaf of bread, if they have eggs get a dozen"

20 minutes later the programmer walks back in with 12 loaves of bread.

I have seen that posted somewhere before.

If I recall correctly, she then asks why he has bought so much bread and the answer is “they had eggs”.

Seems perfectly logical to me. :geek:

Yep, me too.

A personal anecdote: I do the weekly shop as my Mrs can't stick to a list and ends up with more food than we will eat before it starts to rot! One week she asked me to buy shampoo, I got Tesco value, I said the the cashier that my wife had asked me to get shampoo but hadn't specified a brand and she asked if I was sure that she would be happy with it. I said no but whatever I buy will be wrong so it might as well be wrong and cheap! :grin:

Although my :ugeek: son has never actually been pigeon-holed, many of the traits of Asperger's syndrome are there so we have always had to be precise with instructions, and this is just the sort of thing I can imagine him doing.

And I think it's hereditary.

That was me

She has to be very careful when giving me instructions

I liked:

A Professor of Chemistry and his acquaintance walk into a bar.

"A pint of H2O please, barman", says the Professor.

"Oooh, I'll have a pint of water too, please", says the other man.

The professor falls silent, looking forlorn, brow furrowed with the disappointment of a failed murder plan...
