Maurice, who has all the money and mundane accomplishments there are to achieve, is about to embark on a solo sailing voyage around the globe. This is a risky voyage, but he is ready to take on the windy seas and high waters.

Before departing, he gets his a airs in order and draws out a lengthy will. He tells his best friend, Sammy, “If I’m not back in two years, I want you to have the contents of my treasured safe. Here is the key.” Sammy solemnly takes the key and bows.

Maurice sets sail, when almost immediately a massive wind and tornado erupt. He is fortunate to get out of the sea alive and trudges home.

His family is shocked that he survived and can’t contain their tears of joy. Although he just departed several hours ago, they were certain that he could not have survived the gusty storm.

His best friend, Sammy, is also in tears. Sammy turns to him and says, “Maurice, wrong key.”
