LIVING ON A RISKY ISLAND

By AI-ChatGPT4o-T.Chr.-Human Synthesis-27 June 2025

A man lives on a small island in a lake surrounded by winter ice. One warm spring morning, he says to his wife:

“Darling, could you walk across to the grocery store and buy me some tobacco? Just put it on my account.”

She gets back an hour later, and shouts from the kitchen:

“Why did you tell me to put it on your account? You always pay in cash!”

He calmly replies:

“Well, I wasn’t sure if the ice was still safe so late in the spring!”
