An engineer's wife asks him to go the shops.
"Pick up a carton of milk," she says, "and if they have eggs, get six."
A while later he returns with six cartons of milk. When asked why, he says "They had eggs."

I read one about canine genitalia.
It was the dog's bollocks.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:08, archived)
calling something the dog's bollocks originally meant it was obvious, ie. sticks out like a sore thumb or the testicles of a hound.
it is only recently (well, 1980s) that it has come to mean good.

So if dog testicles are made of thumbs how come they didn't evolve into hands?
Looks like your precious science doesn't have ALL the answers.

According to Jeremy Paxman it's an old printers' term.
Are you calling Paxman a cunt?

Do the eggs produce the milk?
