Mr. Jacobson decided to take a week off from the pressures
of the office and went skiing. Alas, no sooner did he reach
the slopes than he heard an ominous rumbling. Moments
later a sheet of snow came crashing toward him.
Fortunately, Mr. Jacobson was able to jump into a cave
just before the avalanche hit. Just as fortunately, he
had matches with him and was able to light a fire using
brush he found on the ground.
Hours later, when everyone but Mr. Jacobson had returned,
a rescue team was sent to search for him. After several hours
they saw smoke curling from a nearby cave and went to investigate.
Poking his head into the entrance, one of the rescuers yelled,
"Mr. Jacobson, are you there? It's the Red Cross."
Bristling, and still work-harried, the executive calls back,
"I already gave at the office!"
