A guy was driving along and got a blow-out.
He jacked up the car and removed the old wheel and placed the lug nuts in the hub cap for safe keeping. While wrestling the spare tire onto the hub he knocked the hub cap and the lug nuts rolled down the embankment into the fast-flowing creek that ran alongside the road.

He started cursing and complaining, thinking he was stuck. he said out loud "how the heck and I going to get home now?"

He looked around to see if there was some place to call for help and then he noticed a man watching him from the other side if a tall fence. He looked some more and saw the sign on the front of the building, he had pulled over in front of a psychiatric institution (nut house).

He tried not to make eye contact with the patient who had been watching him, when the patient said: "why don't you just take one lug nut off of each of the other three wheels and use them to hold the spare on long enough to get home?"

The guy with the flat tire said "wow, that's a good idea. what are you doing in there?"
The patient said "I may be crazy but I'm not an idiot".
