a lesson in logic.

  "Here is the situation," she said. "A man is 

standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. 

He  loses  his  balance, falls in, and begins splashing 

and yelling for help. His wife hears the commotion, 

knows he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. 

Why do you think she ran to the bank?"

  A girl raised her hand and asked, "To withdraw 

all his money from his savings  account?"
