UPC Codes

I was sitting at the kitchen table reading my book and sipping my Coke Light (not to be confused with Diet Coke). Annika was sitting at the table doing homework. She looked up and said “Dad, look, the barcode on your coke can is actually in the shape of a coke bottle. I looked and sure enough, the UPC barcode was a cute little Coke bottle.

Julie happened to be walking through the room just then. Without missing a beat, she said “Oh Jack, look at that. The barcode on the back of your book is actually in the shape of a book!” Curious, I flipped my book around. Sure enough, the barcode was a perfect rectangle.

Just like a book.

Ha. Ha.

Julie is the funniest person I know.
