On Following Instructions

One winter morning a couple is listening to the radio over breakfast. They hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow. We are asking everyone to park their car on the even-numbered side of the street, so there is room for the snowploughs to get through."

The wife goes out and moves her car.

A week later the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through.."

The wife goes out and moves her car to the odd-numbered side.

The next week when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park .......... "

Then the power goes out. The wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do! Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowploughs can get through?"

The husband says. "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"
