Nigel Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go to the shop 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." :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
net-traveller Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Not necessarily. Some years ago we were on the M25 South when they were widening a section from 3 to 4 lanes. The sign said - Road widening for x miles. I started laughing having read it literally and wondered what the good folk of Surrey made of it as some of them would have it in their back gardens and possible through the house as well! I should add I'm a girl but have a very logical mind. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK for me, I'm in a motorhome, but how would a car driver survive that long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I still think the most helpful safety signs are those that boldly proclaim - 'danger - deep water' - when you are near a river? I have to wonder for the sake of humanity if there really are people out there who do not know that a river contains water and that it may be deep in places?
