Perhaps not my best weekly amusement; however, I still find it worth a smirk from my coterie of confederates.

A wife asks her husband, "Could you 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."

I love it. Are we men that stupid? Don't you dare answer that either. Or is this by chance revenge for all of the dumb blond jokes?

The answer is they are both culpable for this. She for not using clarity in her request, and he for not asking for clarification.

Do not mention blond jokes. I had one I kept a copy of for ages. Now when I want it for my weekly amusement, I am unable to locate it. My search will continue.

Miss Brandi

that reminds me of the one,
A wife sent her husband to the grocery store with a list,
1 gallon of milk
2 bag of flour
3 5 lbs of sugar
4 2 liter coke
He came home with 1 gallon of milk, 2 bags of flour, 3 5 lb bags of sugar, and 4 2 liters of coke.

Very similar to the one where the wife was running late getting home and called and asked hubby to peel half the potatoes and put them on to boil. Sure enough when she came home she found a huge pot of potatoes boiling like crazy. Each one had half the skin left on. He had followed her directions exactly--peeled half the potatoes and put them on to boil.

LOL, it's always nice to have the fairer sex think so highly of our cognitive sk**ls. It would be nicer if we didn't exhibit such lack of said sk**ls, so often.

I, however, avoid such lapses...except for weekdays and weekends! :mrgreen:

Your example would explain VERY clearly why Aunti is extremely persnickety about "precise discernment" in usage of words, grammar, spelling and sentence structure.

We are the "fairer sex", because we are fair toward our less "cognitive" mates.

Hopefully, he (oldguy) did not perceive it was an assailment directly upon him. :!: :!: It was meant more as a statement of writing principles held myself.

My fair lady, you surely know I was jesting with you. :roll:

After your "fair" statement, I poked fun at your comment to OldRoy only in fun. Besides, better him...than me! :mrgreen:

Absolutely not. I fully understand the difference. My ex once said that on average a woman speaks two times the words in a day than the average man. I asked "why is that". To which she replied " because the average woman has to repeat herself all the time." And then I said "What"?
