A wife tells her programmer husband: “Go to the store and buy a gallon of milk. If they have eggs, get six.”

He comes back with six gallons of milk. When she asks why, he replies: “They had eggs".

I've never liked this joke. I guess it's supposed to be that the husband does the literal action as described, but instead it's just that they interpreted ambiguity opposite than expected? It just really doesn't work very well :/

I'm pretty sure I've heard effectively the same core joke but better composed. Can't remember it though because at best it's middling funny.
