Milk and Avocados
Jan 13, 2015 07:04:17 #
A wife says to her husband,
"Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk and if they have avocados, 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 avocados."
If you're a woman, I'm sure you're going back to read it again!
Men will get it the first time.

If you want more of that type of humor, find the "George Burns and Gracie Allen Show." It's a funny series from the 50's, and it's being shown on one of the cable channels.

I think the joke's a bit screwed up isn't it?
Isn't this a joke about a computer programmer (you know if/then statements)
The joke actually doesn't make sense other than in that context because in English, the "6" (is that a pronoun?) would have to be referring back to the previous reference due to proximity...aka the avocados (which would be the antecedent)....right?

You're right. It's not a joke. :D
The joke above is funny because the wife's statement is ambiguous. Both the husband and wife were correct. The wife should have worded the order differently to be sure she got what she wanted.
"Buy one gallon of milk, and get six avocados if they have any."

"Look at the dog with one eye," could mean -
1. Look at the dog using only one of your eyes.
2. Look at the dog that only has one eye.
