Hetty arrives home quite late one night and says to her worried Moshe, “Sorry I’m late. I had to come home by train, as I couldn’t get my car to start. But I’m sure I know why.”
“So what’s the problem then, my mechanical engineer of a wife?” Asks Moshe.
“I think there’s water in the carburetor,” replies Hetty.
“How on earth can you know that?” Says Moshe. “You don’t even know how to open the hood or to change the time on the car’s clock yet alone know where the carburetor is.”
“Maybe so,” says Hetty, “but I still think there’s water in it.”
Moshe then says, “OK, I’ll go along with you. Let’s check it out right now. Where did you leave the car?”
Hetty replies, “In the lake.”
