Boy (aka programmer): Hey honey, just off work. Heading home now.

Girl: Hey baby, on your way home, can you buy two kilos of apples? If you see watermelon, then buy one.

Boy: sure thing!

Half an hour later …

The boy shows up with one single apple in his hand.

Girl (looking puzzled): Hey baby, I said “two kilos of apples”, why did you buy only one?

Boy: Because I saw a watermelon?

Girl: What ?!?!

The end any you may still not get it but, to all the girls out there dating programmers:

Please be a bit patient and tolerating. Sometimes it is not they don’t love you or don’t listen to you. It is just they can’t understand you.

To make you the apps that you can share your funny dance moves, they have spent years training themselves to think like a computer. And just like how they need to patiently teach the computers how to recommend to you the best movies you may love, please also be patient and teach them how to understand your language. And then, you will know, they love you dearly in their own way.
