NO: Programmer Humour (Spanish translation)

[Kim Sumner]

Using that interpretation it isn't even humorous (or makes any sense).

La esposa de un programador le dice:
 
³Vaya por favor al almacén y coja una barra de pan. Si tienen huevos,
consiga docena.²

How "brave" do you need to be to buy bread in Espanola???

(Ah language - without these peculiar colloquialisms we might actually
understand each othe - and what'd be the fun in THAT?)
