One of my chickens laid a soft shelled egg. I picked it up, and took it, along with the regular eggs, to show my "partner in chickenry". I held out the soft egg, flat on my palm. He looked at it, and said, "That one has just been laid! It's still soft!" I have to admit, I had a very hard time not laughing my tail off.... I just explained that the chicken got in a hurry, and the egg didn't finish.
I told someone once that a reservation never got confirmed because the computer "hiccuped". He bought it.
Simple minds require simple explanations.
