A happily married man, Irving Topper, found himself driving through a badly paved country road in upstate Rhinebeck, New York. A sudden flat tire sent the car wobbling to a standstill.

The lights in a nearby health manor invited Topper to rap on the door. An attractive lady opened the door and asked what she could do for him. He told her his problem and wondered if he could seek the shelter of her house until dawn, whe he would repair the flat. The lady agreed and invited him into her parlor.

One word led to another; one drink let to another; one touch led to another. Irving Topper was soon divested of his clothes and snuggling in the ladys bed with an equally naked lady.

In the morning Topper thanked her for her hospitality, told her his name was Herman Thompson, changed his tire, and drove off.

About six months later, Topper received a call from his friend Herman Thompson.

Hey, said Thompson, did you ever give my name to a lady in Rhinebeck, New York?

Well, yes answered Topper. You know I am a married man, and I have a lovely wife and child. I gave her your name because youre a bachelor, and I didnt want any complications. I hope I didnt get you into any trouble.

No, no, on the contrary, replied his friend. Her lawyer called me to inform me that I had inherited the manor and the ladys entire estate!
