Thinking Out of the Box

From The Mature Mind by Gene D. Cohen, M.D., Ph.D. Chapter 1:

"My In-Laws, Howard and Gisele Miller, both in their seventies, were stuck. They had just emerged from the Washington, D.C., subway system into a driving snowstorm. They were coming to our house for dinner and needed to catch a cab because it was too far to walk - but it was rush hour, and no cabs stopped. Howard tried calling us to get a lift, but my wife and I were both tied up in traffic and weren't home yet.

As his fingers began to turn numb from the cold, Howard noticed the steamy windows of a pizza shop across the street. He and Gisele marched through the slush, entered the shop, stepped up to the counter, and ordered a large pizza for delivery. When the cashier asked where to deliver it, Howard gave him our address, and added, "Oh, there's one more thing."
"What's that?" the cashier asked.
"We want you to deliver us with it," Howard said.
And that's how they arrived - pizza in hand - for dinner that night."
