    A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go to the store 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 replies, "They had avocados."

    And get this...I was reading this to my (now) hubby and he totally understood it and gave the answer before I could read it.

    It must be a guy thing or the kind of guy that I choose. LOL

    A few mins later: Haha I just asked my bf "What would you bring home?" and he says just that- a carton of milk and 6 avocados :D I caught me a smart man :D

    Hi, Bip! That was not confusion. That was poorly given instructions. He did exactly what I would have done. I always follow instructions exactly as they are given.
