A MAN rushed into the house in a panic-stricken state. His wife looked at him, and said, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWe\u2019re in deep trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the car.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with the car?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWater. There\u2019s water in the carburetor. It won\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s water in the carburetor, and the car won\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n
His wife cocked her head to the side and narrowed her eyes a bit. \u201cNow, you don\u2019t have a mechanical bone in your body. You know nothing about automobiles. How in the world do you know the problem with the car is water in the carburetor?\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband hung his head and said, \u201cThe car is in the swimming pool. There has to be water in the carburetor.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s problem was a lot bigger than what he said. A lot of us are more messed up than we look. We may simply say that there\u2019s water in the carburetor, when our whole life is in the pool. But we can dress it up, fix it up, tweak it up, talk it right, and lay it out, trying to make it look like there\u2019s only a little water in the carburetor.688<\/p>\n
