Carrots

[Rondy]

My wife sent me to the supermarket.
She said “Get two cartons of milk. If they’ve got carrots, get four.”
I came back with four cartons of milk.
She asked “Why did you get four cartons of milk?”
I replied “Because they had carrots.”
Now she’s mad at me, but I followed her instructions exactly.
I can’t understand women!

I prefer the Tim Vine like oneliners you post.

I love this old joke, because they're both right - it shows how ambiguity can creep in unobserved LOL
