A man is out driving one day when suddenly he almost loses control of the car. He brakes hard and manages to stop the car without crashing. When he gets out he discovers the front wheel has come off. The four wheel nuts had worked loose and come off. Wondering what he's going to do next he notices he's stopped outside a mental hospital. A patient comes up to the fence and starts to talk to the man. The man explains what happened but says that the four nuts are lost and can't refit the wheel as a result.
''Rubbish'', replies the mental patient, ''just take one nut off each of the other three wheels, jack up the car and refit the front wheel with the nuts.''
''Jesus, I'd never have thought of that. You're a genius. You shouldn't be in a mental home at all.''
''Well'', the patient replies; ''I might be mad but I'm not stupid.''
