even the crazy

it was like any other day - joe had fifty things to do, and only ten minutes to do them all.  as he was driving along, managing to keep an eye on the road between the PDA, cell phone and laptop, when all of a sudden BANG - joe's tire blew.  the sudden shock of his tire blowing caused him to run off the side of the road.  as he sat there trying to get composure, he tried to call on his cell phone for help - but he was a dead area, and could not reach anyone.  so he decided to do the next best thing - he was going to change the tire himself.

as he got out of the car he noticed he was in front of the state insane asylum.  shaking his head, and questioning why he took this route, he opened the trunk of the car and pulled out the jack, the tire and the lug wrench.  as he set the jack up, he stared to talk with himself - he was complaining and finding fault with everything - everything.  finally, as the car was raised and resting, joe started to take the lug nuts off the tire - as he did, he scraped his knuckles and banged his hand - what was a simple task was made harder by his anger and pain.  as he finally got the tire off, and the lug nuts set aside, he dropped the lug wrench, hitting the hubcap he kept the nuts in causing them to roll out of the cap and down sewer hole.  this made him even angrier - if that could happen.

as he sat on the side of the road with his head in his hand, he noticed a man sitting behind the gate watching him - "call a tow truck" joe asked.  "I don't have a phone - I'm an inmate>' the man answered.  "great!" joe said in a very sarcastic voice.  dropping the lug wrench, joe go up to walk home when the man behind the fence asked what happened.  joe, disgusted, told the story.  the man shock his head and said, "why not take a lug nut off of each of the other three tires.  you will have three lugs on each tire.  there is a gas station up the road about a mile and you can buy a new set of lugs to replace the once you lost."  joe looked shocked.  "how do you know this stuff" joe asked.  the man smiled and said, "I'm crazy, not stupid."
