Leonard Foster, shipping clerk, won the leading role in the Shakespearean play to be given by the local community theater. He normally spent his lunch hour out walking with a girl or in a corner of the parking lot playing softball. However, lately he's been spending his lunch sitting in the office and memorizing his part in the play. While he is reciting his lines, the office phone rings. Leonard answers it. A lady on the line says "Hello, who is this?" He says "This is Leonard Foster". She says "This is Mrs. Rutledge. Is Mr. Rutledge about?" Leonard says "No Ma'am. Mr. Rutledge and the plant manager have gone off to lunch". She says "Oh, have they? Now Leonard, this is vital, did they drive off in Mr. Rutledge's station wagon?" Leonard says "No ma'am, they went by company limo". Mrs. Rutledge says "Oh, then I'm saved. Mr. Rutledge's station wagon is still in the parking lot". Leonard says "Oh, yes ma'am. I can see it just outside the window". Mrs. Rutledge asks "Do you drive?" Leonard says "Oh yes, Mrs. Rutledge". She says "Well, I'm just off Exit 11 at De Polisar Antiques. I just bought this absolutely, divinely authentic Louis Catto commode and I must get it home at once. Now, you're no more than five minutes away from Exit 11. We can have the thing home in ten minutes and you can be back at the office ten minutes after that. What do you say?" Leonard says "Well ma'am, I ...." Mrs. Rutledge says "Oh, the keys. Mr. Rutledge keeps a spare set in the upper right hand drawer of his desk. Leonard, please hurry I shan't draw a relaxed breath until we bring it home safely". Mrs. Rutledge hung up the phone before Leonard could say anything else. He said to himself "Well, she's the boss's wife". He retrieved the keys and made his way down to the Rutledge station wagon. As he turned the key in the ignition, a terrible explosion is heard.
