Bob was in big trouble! He had forgotten his wife's birthday! And he always had to get up early in the mornings to leave for work.
She told him, "After you leave for work tomorrow, I expect to look out in the driveway and see my gift! And it better go from zero to 200 in 6 seconds!"
So the next morning Bob left early for work as always. When his wife woke up she saw a big note he had left for her on his pillow. It said "Your gift is in the driveway." So she ran to the bedroom window and looked out. In the driveway she saw a nicely wrapped package with a pretty big bow on top. She was curious. So she hurried downstairs and ran out to the driveway . She opened the package. Her gift was a Bathroom Scale!
Bob hasn't been seen since!
