1.38. Mr. Browning is glad the car ran out of gas.
(JM, originally from How Come — Again?)

1.38 answer: Mr. and Mrs. Browning had just gotten married. Mrs.
Browning was subject to fits of depression. They had their first fight soon
after they were married; Mr. Browning stormed out of the house, and Mrs.
Browning went into the garage and started up the car, intending to kill
herself by filling the garage with car exhaust. But the car ran out of gas
quickly, and Mr. Browning, returning home to apologize, found Mrs. Browning
in time to summon help and restore her to health.
