Talking Misunderstanding Each Other

A wife asks 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 replies, "They had avocados."

(As I've said many times.............language can be slippery.)

A chair has four legs.

A horse has four legs.

Therefore, a chair is the same, as a horse?

Wait, is there a joke in the post? He did get what she asked so why is it funny? Classic if- then formulation.

Was putting a new fence post in with the wife. I was trying to hold the post straight while the wife was using the sledge hammer. I said to her "when I nod my head, hit it."

I just asked my horse, Tripod, if he was the same as a chair and he said "Neigh."

The there was the time my brother was fixing the clogged kitchen sink, with his 13 year old son as a helper. While under the sink my brother took the pipes apart and emptied the contents into a bucket. He told his son to empty the bucket. He did, right into the sink, while my brother was still under it. Ir was not a pretty sight.i can still hear my brother screaming!

Funny stuff!!!

My all time favorite was my mother asking me to get "the thing on the thing", for her.

HUH!!!
