Every Tuesday afternoon around three, a delivery driver arrives with a crate marked ‘Top Secret.’ No one knows what it contains or where it goes.

Suddenly, everyone in the office looked up at the sky—and there was a neighbor, standing on his porch with a flashlight, checking his tire pressure too!

Confused, he walked around the lot, asking everyone if they heard it. A nearby neighbor chimed in, ‘That’s not your truck—it’s been doing that since last Tuesday!’
