Many humorous stories revolve around a family leaving home for a visit or a vacation, only to have one member worriedly ask "Did we leave the water running?"
The following quick game by Bill Wall reminds me of that. Black is fighting back against the Jerome Gambit, but, at one point he forgets something important...

Overlooking something.
12.fxe5+ Black resigned
The pieced is captured with discovered check. After 12...Kg8 13.exd6 Black will be 3 pawns down. (The vacation is ruined.)
