Humor --

This is a story that is perfectly logical to all males:

A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping
for me and buy a quart of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6."

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 quarts of milk.

The wife asks him, "Why the heck did you buy 6 quarts of milk?"

He replied, "They had eggs."

  2. They're safer in the deep. Glad someone ventured down but hope their habit doesn't get ruined like the ones closer to the surface.
