My Kodak quit working!

My wife and I attended a 50th. wedding anniversary party a couple of weeks ago. I took my trusty Kodak with me. I shot several pictures before my batteries (which had been used for several shots before) died. I replaced the batteries but the camera wouldn't work. I took the batteries out and replaced with some other new ones I had. The camera still refused to work. I told my wife that it looked like buying another camera was in the offing.

"You're not buying another camera. Let me see the darned thing."

I handed her the camera. She pushed the on-off button. Nothing. She twisted the dial on top. Nothing. Turning the camera over she flipped the battery cover open. Looking up at me, with an evil grin she said, "You dummy. You've got them in upside down."

"I've what?"

"You've got the batteries in the camera upside down."

"If those batteries are in that camera upside down, I'll buy you the biggest pizza in town Saturday night."

It cost a certain amount of money, but that darn pizza was sure good!
