Failure to Communicate

Julie to Andrew at lunch: For your fruit/vegetable choice, you can have carrots, oranges, or pineapple.

Andrew: I think I will have celery.

Julie: Um, that's not an option. You can have carrots, oranges or pineapple.

Andrew: Okay, I'll have the other one.

Julie (puzzled): Which "other one"? Carrots? Oranges? Pineapple.

Andrew: I think I will just not have any.

Julie: That's fine, but you won't get anything else before supper.

Andrew: Oh, well, in that case, I think I will have carrots.
