A computer scientist and his wife are in the kitchen on a Sunday morning. He says "I'm popping to the shop to pick up a paper, do you want anything?" She says "Oh yes. Get a pint of milk. If they have eggs, get half a dozen." Ten minutes later he returns with six pints of milk. "What have you done?" she asked. His reply? "They had eggs".
Note: this works more easily verbally. In writing, the punctuation adds complexity.
