I feel this post is incomplete without the following quotation:

and when Rabbit said, "Honey or condensed milk with your bread?" he was so excited that he said, "Both," and then, so as not to seem greedy, he added, "But don't bother about the bread, please."

Also, example #1(iii) amuses me due to the idea that it would become an exclusive-or, if you were to adopt the kind of definition of 'incompetent' that you might find in a Raymond Smullyan puzzle, i.e. something along the lines of 'always does the opposite of what was intended'.
