THE PATIENT HUSBAND

"Darling," Jean greeted her husband Jack, "I have something to confess you."
"Nothing serious I hope," answered Jack."
"Since you're so cool, calm, and collected - I'll tell you before dinner."
"Out with it," said Jack getting a bit uneasy.
"Promise me you won't be angry."
"I promise."
"You won't lose your temper?"
"No!"
"I had a little mishap with the new car."
"Is that all?"
"I flooded the engine and it won't start."
"That's not so terrible. I'll call the autoclub. By the way, where did you flood the engine?"
"At the bottom of Falcon Lake."
