"Double The Recipe" joke
Two weeks after returning from their honeymoon, Mr. Smith comes home from work and informs his wife that he's invited four of his office buddies for dinner on Friday night. Feeling apprehensive, his wife asks if she must cook dinner for the four. The husband explains that there won't be only four coming, there will be eight since each will be bringing his wife.
Seeing her nervousness, since this will be their first party, the husband consoles her by saying all she will have to do is order in some Chinese food and maybe she could bake a cake.
On Friday morning, the wife calls her husband at the office and she's in tears. She tells him that the only cake recipe she has will only feed six.
"Then just double the recipe," he says.
"I can't. It's impossible," she sobs.
"Why can't you?" he asks.
"The recipe calls for two eggs," she replies.
"Well, use FOUR eggs. Don't you have four eggs?" he asks.
"Yes, but the problem isn't the ingredients," the wife says, still sobbing, "it says that the cake is to be baked at 350 degrees and I just checked the oven - I can't turn the heat up to 700 degrees!"
