An insane patient escaped from the mental ward. The warden wanted to put out an apb to all local authorities and have him brought in by any means. The patients doctor, not wanting to see his client hurt or worse, begged the warden for a small window of time to go and bring him back, and if he was not succesful, then he could launch the apb. The warden agreed reluctantly. The doctor, knowing his patient, knew of his love for the ocean. He proceeded to the shipping docks on the east side of town to look for him. After an hour or so of driving around, he spots a person walking slowly along one of the docks with his head down. He cautiously approached the man and it was infact the escaped patient. He slowly approached him and asked," what are you doing out here?" The patient said, "I am testing a theory of mine and as soon as I am complete, I will gladly return to the ward with you". Excitedly, the doctor asked if he could help him in any way. The patient replied "sure, I really need to finish counting all the spaces in between the boards on this dock". The doctor said,"ok, wait right here and I will count the remaining boards for you". The doctor began counting as fast as he could, till all of a sudden he walked right off the end of the dock and into the water. As he was climbing back onto the dock, he noticed the patient jumping and shouting EUREKA, EUREKA, I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!. As the soaked doctor walked back up to the patient, he asked him what he was so excited about. The patient replied " I have proven my theory once and for all" With a confused look on his face the doctor asked him, "what theory is that" The patient looked at him with a serious grin and said" when your out of slits, your out of pier"
