Oh, You Said Get Dog Food, Not a Bale of Hay

“I say, I say, pay attention when I’m talkin’ to ya, boy!” Classic line from Fog Horn Leghorn, a Looney Tunes character A husband was prone to get details confused. His wife told him this when she was not amused: “I asked you to get just one thing that I needed. When at last you returned, I was steamed. It was clear that my simple request wasn’t heeded. You should try your best to be redeemed. I had asked for one pack of six corndogs; instead, you brought six cans of corn and six dogs! They all bark day and night, and they’ve taken our bed. If I’d asked for bacon, would you have brought hogs?”
