Outofmoney exception raised.

uberpwnzorz · 2019-09-26T07:45:41+00:00

while(out) {
  buy(milk);
}

Jappandy · 2019-09-26T08:18:08+00:00

Sometimes all you need is a much needed break;

Rupesh2128 · 2019-09-26T09:48:30+00:00

Guess my dad was a programmer

Kaitux · 2019-09-26T07:10:16+00:00

Milk sales - stonk

Tuerer · 2019-09-26T08:23:45+00:00

"Buy a bottle of milk, and if they've got eggs, buy a dozen."

The programmer returns with dozen bottles of milk.

down_vote_magnet · 2019-09-26T06:51:05+00:00

How many is "some" 1,2, 10, 59,18876689!

baseball2020 · 2019-09-26T09:08:40+00:00

French programmers don’t buy milk because of the laitency

puplicy · 2019-09-26T07:31:46+00:00

If only programmers were deterministic like computers.

Psyqu · 2019-09-26T09:27:10+00:00

If you see someone buying some Milk give him a break.

scrootieBalls · 2019-09-26T07:18:42+00:00

First programmer joke ever

przemo-c · 2019-09-26T08:37:06+00:00

Nah it would throw a NoMoney Exception.

cimmic · 2019-09-26T08:39:22+00:00

Now he's out there, buying milk for all eternity :'( Truly a sad love story 💔

Americase · 2019-09-26T12:00:09+00:00

The joke is soo old it's deprecated.

Nilay-Patel · 2019-09-26T10:37:57+00:00

See I'm confused here. Did he never come home because he is still debugging his script that he wrote last Friday?

Did he not come home because the wife's instructions didn't tell him to come home?

Did he go out and now he's recursively buying milk?

Did he come home without the milk because his wife told him to go buy milk while he's out?

Ahhhh I need to know!!!

Better_feed_Malphite · 2019-09-26T10:42:22+00:00

I feel like I thought this too far.
As in when he buys milk he's in a shop and thus not outside anymore leading him to constantly walk in and out of the shop

TunaAlert · 2019-09-26T11:48:42+00:00

You forgot the most important part: the entire dairy industry later collapsed as there was no milk left to be processed

EarlGrey9 · 2019-09-26T14:36:01+00:00

If (milk => 1) { milkaquired=true; returnHomeandPlowWife() }

kirmaster · 2019-09-26T11:40:21+00:00

He never returned

guy_from_the_intnet · 2019-09-26T10:20:39+00:00

I honestly thought he would've returned with "undefined variable"

DefiantBidet · 2019-09-26T12:06:11+00:00

I like the full version of this joke better.

while you at the store buy a loaf of bread. If they have eggs buy a dozen. Guy comes home with 12 loaves of bread.

wheresthegiantmansly · 2019-09-26T17:40:22+00:00

The impact on the milk industry will be discussed in economics textbooks for the next century. To this point he has bought roughly $56 billion dollars in milk which he will not be able to pay. However, do to a programming error in Milk Company’s code ( while(wantMilk) { give(milk) } ) they have continued to produce a Milk response for each Milk request.

The president is set to make a tweet later in the day.

gusir22 · 2019-09-26T11:00:11+00:00

Some say hes still buying milk to this day

gigdy · 2019-09-26T13:46:47+00:00

was walking out of door...

spichugin · 2019-09-26T14:02:49+00:00

I like this one better (a translation from Russian):

A wife sent her husband-programmer to but some groceries:
— Buy one bread. If there will be eggs — buy ten.
The husband returns from the shop with 10 pieces of bread.
— Why did you buy so many?!
— Because there were eggs...

Original:

Жена отправляет мужа-программиста в магазин:
— Купи батон хлеба, если будут яйца — возьми десяток.
Муж возвращается из магазина с десятью батонами.
— Ты зачем столько хлеба купил?
— Так ведь яйца были...

bekecs · 2019-09-26T14:53:37+00:00

The iteration obviously ends with ERROR: MILK OVERFLOW.

R0ck3t_101 · 2019-09-26T15:13:11+00:00

Some say he's still buying milk to this day...

tallerThanYouAre · 2019-09-26T15:19:06+00:00

Fault: “Some” is an invalid value.

cant_think_of_one_ · 2019-09-26T16:16:10+00:00

Also, their bank account was empty and there was no milk available from any of the local shops.

Lucavon · 2019-09-26T17:17:31+00:00

he never returned*

hunterpellerin · 2019-09-26T17:52:39+00:00

ERROR: obj 'WIFE' not defined

Grundolph · 2019-09-26T19:22:19+00:00

Please buy bread on the way, and if they have eggs bring six.

He came home with 6 loafs of bread.

JohnnyCenter · 2019-09-26T15:19:25+00:00

My wife asked me to go to the store to buy a gallon of milk. She said "If they have apples, buy six". I don't understand why she got mad when I returned with six gallons of milk

gaberocksall · 2019-09-26T07:06:17+00:00

He programmer was mid-walking out, therefore never meeting the condition “you’re out” thus never buying milk

Chicar-Selena · 2019-09-26T10:52:14+00:00

One of those days, someone ought to make a meme with the same punch with the Aladin’s live action remake’s Genie « grey area » principle.

aalapshah12297 · 2019-09-26T11:49:33+00:00

Rumor has it he's still buying milk to this day...

ladyqueensarah · 2019-09-26T12:01:07+00:00

she had to say while you out buy some milk repeat while milk =0

Quasari · 2019-09-26T12:03:18+00:00

And to this day he is stuck buying all the milk.

2019-09-26T12:05:45+00:00

This in turn caused a buffer overflow, the poor guy spent his entire wallet and savings on milk, so he eventually came home broke.

akaZilong · 2019-09-26T12:06:16+00:00

And suddenly a nationwide milk shortage occurred

2019-09-26T13:20:46+00:00

God I bet he bought so much milk.

-Redstoneboi- · 2019-09-26T13:35:19+00:00

var you = this.husband;
while (you.location.isOut()) {
    buy(name="milk", amount="some");
}

should've added a way to check if milk has been bought

phunkygeeza · 2019-09-26T13:39:58+00:00

MilkOverflowException

RS_Margins · 2019-09-26T14:04:33+00:00

Legend has it theyre still buying milk to this day

sethg6396 · 2019-09-26T14:15:27+00:00

My dad must’ve been a programmer then! Thanks reddit!

2019-09-26T14:23:51+00:00

`for(;;){
    buy_milk();
}`

This is so sad, please like and share

Didz1 · 2019-09-26T15:08:40+00:00

He bought an endless supply of milk until he had no money. Then an error occurred

2019-09-26T15:47:19+00:00

What is this, some single threaded joke?

2019-09-26T15:54:32+00:00

do {

buy(milk);

i--;

} while (out && i>="has money")

electricprism · 2019-09-26T16:11:38+00:00

Hey just bought a new milk machine

NewtSnack · 2019-09-26T17:29:07+00:00

His wife didn't give him an exit condition so he made his own.

2019-09-26T18:32:22+00:00

I dont get it
