Cal was out driving in the country, seeing how his new car
handled the curvy roads at high speeds. As he rounded a
corner, one of his tires blew.
When he got out of the car to change the tire, he noticed
that he had stopped in front of the state mental asylum.
There was also a man sitting on the brick wall in front of
the facility.
The driver went about his business, not paying any
attention to the guy on the fence. He first took his tire
iron and jack out of the car, and got the car jacked up.
Then, he removed the hubcap. Next, he removed the six lug
nuts, and placed them in the hubcap for safekeeping.
About this time, the guy on the fence decided to start a
conversation. This startled the driver, and he reeled
around quickly, knocking over the hubcap, and the lug nuts
fell into the sewer drain.
The driver gets angry with the guy on the fence,
shouting, "Now look what you made me do. Now I'm going to
have to walk to town to buy some new lug nuts. Just go
back inside and leave me be."
The guy on the fence says, "Why don't you just take one
lug nut from each of your other three wheels, and use them
on this one. That should hold it steady enough for you to
drive the car to the auto parts store."
The driver asks, "That's a brilliant idea...then why are
you here?"
The guy on the fence replies, "I'm just crazy, not
stupid."
