This one I didn't get to see, but was relayed from my aunt's daughter:
One time my aunt was alone at home and was taking a shower. As she was drying off, she heard distant thunder and decided to run out and grab the cushions off the patio furniture. The back yard had a privacy fence, so she just ran out naked to quick grab the cushions, but she neglected to change the lock on the door so it would open from both sides. So as she's scrambling to get the cushions and run back in, the door shuts. So there she is, it's about to rain and she's naked and locked outside of the house.
My aunt panics a bit and looks around for a possible way back in, but the front door is normally locked and all patio screen doors are as well. She remembers that there might be a spare key in the detached garage. She covers herself with the cushions and runs into the garage. She looks around for a little bit, but there are no spare keys. There is, however, another phone (this happened before cell phones were in common use). She tries to call my uncle at my grandparent's farm house, but he'd already left. So she was stuck in the garage with no keys and no clothes. It was about an hour later that my uncle arrived home, putting his car in the garage and finding his naked wife standing there, covered in cushions. She was rather grateful at being let back in the house.
Punchline: The cushions are weatherproof.
Daughter's theory: She told us she's not buying the 'ran outside to get the cushions' story. She thinks her mother was enjoying the hot tub au natural, while hidden from the street by the privacy fence, and got herself locked out of the house. But she doesn't want to admit to doing something so scandalous to extended members of my uptight Catholic farm family.
