You must be logical when speaking to programmers

I’m reading Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolutionby Steven Levynow (great book) and found this funny fragment. *Marge Saunders would drive to the Safeway every Saturday morning in the Volkswagen and upon her return ask her husband, “Would you like to help me bring in the groceries?” Bob Saunders would reply, “No.” Stunned, Marge would drag in the groceries herself. After the same thing occurred a few times, she exploded, hurling curses at him and demanding to know why he said no to her question.
