During recent Australian floods a man and his wife were perched on top of their
house. As they sat watching articles float by in the water, they noticed an old hat floating in their neighbours yard.
Suddenly, the hat turned and came back, then turned around and went
downstream. After it had gone some distance, again it turned and came back against the current.
They watched as it did this a number of times.
"Do you see that hat?" said the wife in amazement. "First it goes
downstream, then turns around and comes back, then it goes back downstream
and then it comes back again."
"Yeh thats Doug," replied her husband. "On Friday I heard Sheila tell him
that come hell or high water, he had to mow the lawn this weekend."
