Michael and his wife live in Minnesota. One winter morning while
listening to the radio, they hear the announcer say: “We are going to
have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even
numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through.” Michael’s
wife goes out and moves her car.
A week later, while having breakfast, they hear the radio announcer
saying again : “We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must
park your car on the odd numbered side of the street so the snowplow
can get through.” So, Michael’s wife goes out and moves her car as
requested.
The next week they were having breakfast again, when the radio
announcer said: “We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You
must park……”, but then the electric power went out.
Michael’s wife got very upset and, with a worried look on her face,
she asked: “Honey, what am I going to do? Which side of the street
should I park now, so the plow can get through?”
With understanding in his voice, Michael said: “Why don’t you just leave it in the garage this time.”
