The Defective Paper Towel 

The Defective Paper Towel: "'Bring me a paper towel, would you?' 'Certainly!' I walk to the kitchen and rip a paper towel from the roll behind the sink. I deliver it to its destination. As I approach, I realize the purpose for said towel. A small child is pushing to escape the bindings of her high chair, while her face is pasted with tomato soup and fragments of broccoli and pasta are woven in to her hair. 'I guess you'd like it wet?' 'Yes, I want to wipe her face.' 'You didn't specify that in the requirements. I'll need to charge you extra!' 'Charge me extra?' 'Yes, your requirements were faulty. I've incurred extra work.' 'Charge me extra! You should know that requirements always change.' It's that simple!"
