...you laugh at this joke:

A Programmer's wife sends him to the store telling him: "Honey, pick up two loaves of bread. And if they have fresh eggs, get a dozen."

An hour later he returns home with 12 loaves of bread.

"A programmer sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and feels thirsty. Soon, he thinks of a solution. He will leave 2 glasses next to his bed. One full of water, in case he wakes up, and he is thirsty, and one empty glass, in case he wakes up, and he is not thirsty."
