Pam and I were checking out of the hotel. Actually, Pam was checking out, I was standing just outside with the luggage. I was also watching it rain fairly heavily.

I wasn’t getting the car because Pam paid to allow only herself to drive the rental. I was also thinking that we were both going to get soaked when we went to the car.

Or would we?

This was my thinking. Pam had to go to the car and get wet because only she was allowed to drive it. If I went with her and got myself wet, she wouldn’t be any dryer. So maybe Pam should go to the car, get a bit wet, bring the car to the entrance under the canopy, and I’d load the luggage while staying nice and dry. No one would be any worse off.

Pam came out.”I’ll get the car, you don’t have to get wet.”

I said “OK.”

Pam said “Really?”

Maybe not.
