Welcome to my life

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

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs."

Hahahahaha

And very appropriate. Very sadly, we lost our older dog last week. He was a 13, which is pretty old for a lab, and suddenly the tumors/lumps so common in labs took over and that was it. Went from doing great to clearly being done in a matter of about 24 hours. Sigh.

Anyway, back to the funny part. We've talked about getting another pet so our younger dog would have a companion. An we knew that the time was coming for our older dog, unfortunately. IMHO, that means, you know... now. Right? I may just like to distract myself from being sad, but whatever. DH was like, uh, I was thinking this fall maybe?

Our compromise is that we're going to foster a dog to see how it works out. And I'm picking her up tomorrow.

So, yeah. Hahah, the dog compromise usually ends up being whatever I really want. Our younger dog was also a "one night foster sleepover" to help out the rescue group. Haha. He has veto power, but it's never come to that yet.

I'm sorry to read about the loss of your lab.

Sweet Moose. He'll be missed.

We had a similar dynamic, maybe more extreme. When we had my cat Oscar euthanized, DH said, okay, no new pets for at least six months, okay? Let's mourn Oscar. I agreed. Three days later, I started searching for puppies and kittens online. Two days after that, Loki came home with me. I just couldn't deal with the idea of only one pet in the house.

I've heard this as a joke about engineers. Cracks me up every time.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your lab; so very hard. We too lost our labx last June, very quickly, from systemic lung cancer. Diagnosed and gone in a week...he was only 9. I went from 3 dogs to feeling like I had zero as our old lady hound sleeps upstairs most of the time, and our boxerx was so sad she went up to join her. Hence the entrance of our spotted wonder, Loki (@bounceswoosh, how funny is that?), who lives up to his name.

I have a friend that would love the engineer joke, must pass that along!

 

[bounceswoosh]

@lisamamot - our Loki is also a trouble maker. I saw it in his eyes when I got him. I wanted that lively energy. He's a sweetheart, a mama's boy, and a total pain in the butt. Love him.

 

[tinymoose]

Loki! Love the name @bounceswoosh

Sorry for being a little dumb...

Are there milk that got eggs in it? Or do all milk got eggs in it?

It's just wordplay abc. She wasn't specific enough that if the store had eggs then she wanted six eggs in addition to the one milk. So since the store had eggs, he brought her six milks.

 

[abc]

Duh!

Thanks for the explanation. I thought he mistaken it as "if the milk got eggs" which is easy to do for guy who doesn't do much grocery shopping. Didn't realize it could also mean "if the STORE has eggs"!

If only this situation didn't seem completely plausible...

Truth. I live with an engineer. Brings new meaning to the word 'literally'.
