A man got a flat tyre right in front of a  Mental Hospital. He struggles to park his car on the side of the road.

Then, as usual, he opened his car hood to get a jack, spare wheel, wheel spanner, and he unscrews the wheel. But the four nuts roll and fall into the sewer drain. The manhole cover can not be opened; the nuts have disappeared.

The man looks desperately left and right and sits down discouraged on the sidewalk.

A patient who had observed the entire scene from the beginning through the fence of the facility shouted at him:

“Hey, you idiot! What are you doing here?”

He replies: 

“Don't ask questions, my friend. I got a flat tyre, and while changing the wheel, the wheel nuts fell into the drain.”

The patient retorts: “You're making things complicated for yourself! Just take a nut from each of the other wheels, and then you’ll have three per wheel. That'll hold until the next car spare parts shop!”

The man does as he is told and shouts to the patient: “And what are you doing in that mental place?”

The answer from the patient is legendary...

"We are here for madness, my friend, not for stupidity!”

*Madness* is one thing. 

*Stupidity* is another.
