So, what's the problem?
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 replied, "They had avocados."
If you're a woman, I'm sure you're going back to read it again! Men will get it the first time.
My work is done here.Graeme

The one I like here in Aus is this when you say to someone
You're not going to eat that are you, and they answer No.
If you ask if they are going to eat that and they also say No.
The answer to the first one is not correct.
I noticed this when I was in Singapore and I asked Question 1 and they answered No and then began eating something.
Seems aus ignore the not in a question .

The basic rule when your significant other sends you shopping - do not come back with the right things or you will be sent again next time
Cheers
