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."
If morning breath were ever captured in a photograph, those would be it.
