A man was driving down a rural road, looking forward to getting home after exhausting days away. Along the road his tire gave out and he pulled over to change it. Upon opening the trunk he discovers he has no jack. Feeling discouraged he recalls a few miles back passing a farm house, and he decides to take the long walk back to borrow a jack. Growing weary, tired and hungry he begins to think about the farmer....it's a hot day, he has probably been working the fields all day and won't enjoy the interruption of a stranger breaking his valuable daylight time. But he is quite sure the farmer will agree to stop and he will borrow a jack, he may get home tonight.

Well into his walk he sees the sun descending and begins to think about the farmer, coming in tired after a long day, looking forward to a good meal and a rest. He likely will resent this intrusion, taking him away from his meal and relaxation. But goodness any caring person would appreciate his plight and he will borrow a jack, he may get home late tonight.

The longer he walks the more he thinks, and thinks, now, no doubt that farmer has had a hot meal a long shower and is putting his feet up for the night. Quite likely he will be very angry at being forced to rise at the end of a long day but DAMN he must be able to see i need that jack. I doubt I'll get home till real late tonight.

Approaching the long drive into the farm, he sees the lights shut off and the upstairs light go on..thinks to himself......WELL how nice for HIM.....he's climbing into bed, he's clean, he's fed and he's home, how dare he resent that I am in dire need and must make him get up. How dare he not appreciate how badly my day has gone. How dare he have such lack of compassion for a stranger in need. He better let me borrrow a jack. I better get home tonight.

Walking up the steps he looks up and see's the light go out. IN BED? Great I can just imagine HIM being woken up. I'm certainly not going to get home tonight. But he bangs on the door........the farmer opens the window and calls down...."What can I do for you son?" The man looks up and yells

"WELL YOU CAN JUST KEEP YOUR BLOODY JACK.

So......DON'T BORROW JACKS.

Go only with what you KNOW, the rest are your imaginings.
