Kinda funny story...

So early yesterday morning a lady from our church knocked on our door and said she had a flat tire and wanted to know if we could help her? My dad is an expert in such matters so my mom ran to wake him up. The lady kept saying that she had gotten a pen lodged in her tire yet, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was not in fact a pen but a screwdriver-which only begs the question 1.) how is it possible to get a screwdriver lodged in your tire after running over it? (I just don't get it, if the screwdriver is lying flat in the road. I know the same thing happens with nails-which I also don't understand if they're lying flat in the road-but it just seems much more of a difficulty with a screwdriver right?) and 2.) what are the odds that this would happen to her tire right in front of our house-the house of someone she knows? I don't know-maybe I am just not learned enough in the mechanics of such matters-but it just seems completely random to me-not to mention highly unlikely!

I thought the story ended with the lady getting her tire fixed, but I was wrong. Yesterday evening, after I returned from running errands my brother related to me further details in the mysterious screwdriver flat drama. Apparently, my dad ended up patching up the woman's tire and getting the screwdriver out-but not before asking if he could keep it for himself. The woman complied, and my dad set out promptly for Sears to exchange the old screwdriver for a new one! Only my dad...
