A recipe tells someone to separate two eggs, and the eggs end up in different rooms. A driving lesson turns into a very thorough check that the mirrors are, in fact, mirrors.
These jokes use familiar errands and household instructions. Pick one for a dinner conversation or a group chat; each copy button includes the setup and the answer.
