This reminds me of a story my uncle told me many years ago....
A man stopped to change a flat tire out in front of the loonie bin. He accidentally knocked over the hubcap full of lugnuts. They all spilled into the storm drain. As he sat there sitting on the curb in despair, one of the inmates looking over the wall offered "why don't you just take one off each of the other three wheels and drive to a service station and buy more? The astonished man asked "this is a hospital for crazy people, so why are you here?"
