A man is driving on dark country road late at night when he gets a flat tire.
He takes his flashlight, opens the trunk of the car, takes out the spare, jacks up the car and removes the flat tire. Unfortunately, he put the removed nuts on an embankment that he didn’t see, and they all roll into the ditch and out of sight.
Grumbling, he starts walking along the road hoping to find a house whose phone he could use to call for help.
Finally, he sees what looks like a large mansion with lights on in several rooms. As he approaches the front door, he notices a sign that reads, “STATE ASYLUM FOR THE CRIMINALLY INSANE.”
“Not ideal,” he thinks to himself, “but certainly the patients here are well guarded. Besides, what choice do I have?”
So he rings the doorbell, and is greeted by a middle-aged man in a white coat. He explains to him the problem, how his tire was flat and how he lost the nuts that would be used to install the spare. He asked if he could use the phone to call a tow truck.The man replies, “I’d gladly let you use the phone, but in these parts you won’t get a tow truck until morning at the earliest. Why don’t you take one nut from each of the other three tires and use them to install the spare? That will surely hold you until you can bring the car to the repair shop.”
“Wow! What a great idea! No wonder you’re a doctor!”

Well, he can’t be offended if someone calls him a jack*ss.

I wonder how much he had to shell out for that?

It seems he didn’t know he had that in there.

You should try a jack I just bought. It’s an air bag, and it hooks up to your exhaust…

Don’t toss the jack, bird, you may need it again.

My new car didn’t come with a jack, or a spare, just an electric air pump and a can of flat-fix.

How’d the bird get the jack under the turtle, rock him back and forth?

I’m thinking the “head over heels” is about the most difficult way to get back on 4 feet, but if you got a hydralic sizzer jack, go for it.

Tipped up on his nose!? Made me laugh!

No, no, no … you gotta bolt the jack back in place while standing on your head on a pitch black stormy night.

“Oh, I’m not a doctor. I’m a patient here.”
“What! But your idea, it was so intelligent!”
“Well sure. I may be crazy but I’m not stupid.”
