A person goes to the supermarket to get some milk. They only have gallons.
He asks the market man, “Do you have a half gallon of milk?”
The market man says, “Let me see. I’ll go look in the back.”
A moment later he comes out with a chain saw and wearing safety glasses. He goes over to where the milk is. He cuts a gallon of milk in half then picks up one half of the gallon and says “Here you go, sir.” And the milk is still in that half.
Well, this almost happened to me since I wrote this. I went to the store to get a half gallon of milk. I saw a gallon in front of the half gallons, but I saw some half gallons in behind the gallon one. I almost asked the store worker to cut one in half, like in my story. If someone had read my mind, I would feel pretty stupid.
