A women sent her kid that was into programming to the grocery store and told it:
“Please buy 1 bottle of milk if they have eggs buy 2”
The kid returned with just 2 bottles of milk. When it’s mom ask why it bought 2 bottles of milk, the kid said:
“Because they had eggs”
… Was the kid right?
I always think this joke is more of a linguistics/grammar joke than programming. The kid resolves the ambiguity in the ellipsis incorrectly, but why is this a programmer joke?
