Reminds me of a joke of my long late grandmother, so it's probably a century old:
A rich and very jealous man ordered a huge, luxury oak cupboard. It had to be carried in as parts and assembled by a team. Initially all was well, but after a few months the cupboard had developed a loud creak sound. But, even more annoyingly for the wife (which, contrary to her husband, was at home most of the time), it happened only when the tram was passing. So a worker came to look at it, and sat in the cupboard to locate the creak, when unexpectedly the husband came. He opened the cupboard to hang up his coat, and saw the worker. WHAT are you doing here? he asked. Worker: I know it sounds absurd, but I'm just waiting for the tram.
