Clarity in communication is so important

A woman goes to Italy to attend a 2-week, company training session.
 
Her husband drives her to the airport and wishes her to have a good trip. 
The wife answers: "Thank you honey, what would you like me to bring for you?" 
The husband laughs and says: "An Italian girl!!!" The woman kept quiet and left. 
Two weeks later he picks her up in the airport and asks: "So, honey, how was the trip?" 
"Very good, thank you." "And, what happened to my present?" 
"Which present?" She asked. 
"The one I asked for - an Italian girl!!" 
 "Oh, that" she said "Well, I did what I could, now we have to wait for nine months to see if it is a girl !!!" :-) 
 Moral of the Story: Requirements should be explicit, Elaborate and clearly communicated.
