Once upon a time, there was a man named Mr. Smith who lived in a small town. One day, it started raining heavily and Mr. Smith realized he had forgotten his umbrella at home. He quickly put on his hat and blouse, jumped into his car, and drove to the office.

On his way there, he saw that his tie was missing, so he went back home to get it. When he finally arrived at the office, he realized he had put on the wrong shirt and was wearing his coat inside out! All of his coworkers couldn't stop laughing at his silly outfit, but Mr. Smith just smiled and said, "At least I'm dry!" The end.
